"The Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Student Association (ITASA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting college students from across the country to the budding Taiwanese American community. Our goal is to build a national network of people passionate about Taiwan while educating and empowering the next generation of our nation’s leaders in the process. Every year, our organization works with over a hundred student organizations nationwide and plans events from coast to coast. We are fully staffed by current and recent college students, and we pride ourselves on our approachability and professionalism." - www.ITASA.org​

​

The Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association is the "umbrella" group that oversees Taiwanese American communities across the United States. To better manage such a large community, ITASA has divided the United States into 3 geographical regions: East, West, and Midwest regions.

Every year, ITASA holds three multi-day conferences in the East, West, and Midwest regions. These conferences are the focal points of the year for ITASA. The conferences are planned by college students, and held at 3 universities of the 3 respective regions. The 2013 East Coast Conference will be held in NYC by NYU/Columbia; the 2013 West Coast Conference will be held at UCLA; the 2013 Midwest Conference will be held at the Ohio State University.
