What Is TAU About?

The Taiwanese American Union (TAU) is dedicated towards bringing Taiwanese "culture" to the UCLA campus community and to also bringing fellow UCLA Bruins out to everything Los Angeles has to offer.

What's more, TAU offers a community for those who are like-minded; for those who share common interests and backgrounds. Come see what we're all about and we guarantee that we are more than just a group of students sharing something as arbitrary as "Taiwan" but rather what Taiwan has offered us in binding us together.

Although based in the University of California, Los Angeles, TAU is in no way limited to the UCLA campus. As an active member in numerous networking organizations, co-sponsored events are often held. From Ski Trips with other Universities to volunteering with TAP (Taiwanese American Professionals), the opportunities are endless.

Speaking of opportunities, TAU offers connections to the right places. With solid relationships to Taiwanese American organizations, professionals, and employers around the greater Los Angeles area (and Northern California, Canada, Taiwan), anything from part-time jobs to full-time employment may come from time to time. Examples of internships range from pharmaceutical companies to biotech firms or even movie productions companies.

So with that being said, we cordially invite all that are interested to come and see what we have to offer: from food to fashion, music to movies, opportunities to connections, friends to family.
