The Cornell Taiwanese American Society (CTAS) is a registered student organization at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It describes itself as a non-political social club that aims to celebrate Taiwanese culture within the Cornell community, providing a welcoming environment and support network while sharing Taiwanese culture through events and activities.

Role in the Community

  • Context from the Ithaca community memoir (band A, Mei-Hsi Chen, published 2017-08-25): Brief History of the Taiwanese Association of America, Ithaca, NY records the earlier Taiwanese student movement at Cornell — from the 1960s gatherings around Taiwanese students (Joseph H. Chen, Ph.D., arrived 1965) to the “Cornell University Taiwanese Student’s Association,” which at its height counted nearly 300 members with families.

  • Related Cornell, NY record: 110 (Our Journeys) — Cornell, NY entry notes the Nov. 1991 founding of the Taiwan Hakka Association for Public Affairs in North America in connection with Cornell, NY.

  • Related Ithaca records also held in the corpus: the bibliographic entries TAA 綺色佳(伊薩卡)臺灣同鄉會 (2017-08-25) and Ithaca, NY 伊薩卡臺灣同鄉會的簡介 (2017-10-27) — same memoir lineage as OJ #310 above.

  • HOLD: CTAS (self-described non-political social club, contemporary) vs the historic “Cornell University Taiwanese Student’s Association” / TAA Ithaca chapter in the memoir — distinct-era organizations on the same campus; not auto-merged as one lineage.

  • Re-verified 2026-09-22: corpus re-grep (Cornell Taiwanese / CTAS / 伊薩卡) returns only the OJ #310 lineage already absorbed above (plus a Taiwan Justice news article where 伊薩卡 is incidental); no new material.
