welcome!

Penn Taiwanese Society works to provide a network and community for Penn students who are interested in Taiwanese affairs. We hold monthly events to foster cultural enrichment for both PTS members and the greater Penn community. Examples include family group outings, bubble tea socials, educational workshops, food nights, study breaks, dim sum trips, karaoke, and our annual cultural show. PTS also strives to hold strong relationships with other APA organizations on campus with the goal of promoting unity at Penn. Through ITASA leadership retreats, national conferences, and joint events, we aspire to reach out beyond our campus and cultivate friendships and connections with other Taiwanese organizations on the East Coast. PTS is committed to bringing the best cultural experience for all those interested.

Congratulations to our entire PTS Family for winning Best TASA at the ITASA East Coast Conference! In what is the most competitive and prestigious category, PTS won its second consecutive award for the most outstanding national Taiwanese American student organization. Thank you all for your continued support!

Typhoon Morakot devastated southern Taiwan in August 2009, destroying the homes of 7,000 people, buring entire villages, and ultimately leaving$3.3 billion USD in damages. The Penn Taiwanese Society is currently fundraising for typhoon relief efforts. Our most recent event raised $165 for typhoon victims and we will be continuing to take donations over the next year.
