The Brown/RISD Taiwanese Graduate Student Association is a student group serving Taiwanese graduate students across both Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. The organization maintains a Facebook group, which was active at least as of 2015 when it was used to organize a new-student orientation event for incoming Taiwanese students at both institutions. The group’s Facebook page is the only first-party online presence identified; no dedicated website, Instagram, or official university directory listing was found in available sources.
Deepen-x note (2026-09-18)
SKIP: no corpus hits. Corpus grep for Brown/RISD found nothing in works/ or articles/ (only substring false positives inside “jurisdiction”). No memoir or community record to absorb beyond the TAH directory listing already reflected above. Re-verified 2026-09-20 (deepen-x slice 29), 2026-09-21 (slice 20), and 2026-09-22 (slice 15): grep Brown|RISD|Rhode Island in works/articles hits only false positives — Senator Sherrod Brown, the Brown Foundation Performing Arts Theater, “Harry and Edna Brown” (wedding proxies in a memoir), and the 1977 美東台灣人夏令會 held at Brown University (ourjourneys74, unrelated to this graduate-student association). SKIP stands.
- Re-verified 2026-09-25 (slice 09231200-8): grep for Brown/RISD/Rhode Island School of Design in works+articles returns no genuine hits — RISD matches are substrings (e.g. “jurisdiction”) in taiwanjustice news articles. SKIP stands.
- Re-verified 2026-09-25 (slice 09250500-6): fresh grep Brown|RISD|Rhode Island again yields no association-level hits. Note for a future pass: two memoirs give Providence, RI Taiwanese-graduate-student context without naming this association — reinventing-thanksgiving (parents as chemistry grad students in Providence from 1965) and an-interview-with-eva-lou (RI undergraduate/graduate years). Geographic context only, not a record of this organization; not absorbed. SKIP stands.
- Re-verified 2026-10-07 (slice 10052158-1): fresh five-dir grep Brown/RISD/Rhode Island — only substring false positives (“jurisdiction”) in taiwanjustice news articles and topics/counter-ccp-narrative; Providence hits are unrelated records (Providence University alumni association, Providence-geography memoirs). No association-level material. SKIP stands.
