Alumni Volunteers

What do you wish you had known when you were a student at TAS? Each year, many TAS alumni share their perspectives and experiences with current students as mentors and speakers. To give back as an alumni volunteer, please contact us at alumni@tas.tw.

Alumni volunteered as mentors and judges at the NOVA entrepreneurship competition. In this one-day competition in March 2021, over twenty student teams brainstormed and pitched ideas to solve problems in a post-pandemic world. Many thanks to Kent Wu ’95, Jay Cheng ’97, Paul Torkehagen ’04, Awu Chen ’16, Alethea Wang ’17, Tiffany Ma ’17, Tiffany Lo ’20, and Ryan Chou ’20 for your help!

At the annual Girl-Up Summit, three alumni shared about their experiences of gender norms in culture and in the workplace, how to be a trailblazer, and how the future is very different and, in most ways, better than what they envisioned when they were teenagers. Thank you to panelists Jennifer Melyan ’02, Smrit Narang ’04, and Bayeshan Wang Cooper ’06! An alumni panel of nine former TAS journalists returned to campus to share their wisdom and advice with current Blue & Gold staff members. Thank you to Melissa Cho ’17, Jing Tang ’18, Daniel Wang ’18, Maxwell Chen ’19, Christine Lin ’19, Abbey Foreman ’20, Charlotte Lee ’20, Marcus Wang ’20 and Francis Yang ’20!
