Role in the Community
-
南加大校園的台灣人左翼傳統可上溯至運動早期：1966 年前後在校園分發《台灣青年》《台灣通訊》啟蒙的留學生名單中即有南加州大學的利騰俊（Our Journeys 253）。
-
2017-05-12 — TAH 故事庫收錄「燒肉粽 by USC Taiwanese Student Association 南加大台灣同學會」，記錄該同學會傳承台式小吃文化的社區活動（燒肉粽 by USC TSA）。
-
台灣人學生社團在南加州的根源：1966 年劉天良在 UCLA 發起迎新會、自然形成台灣同學會，會員讀書會（劉天良、李木通、黃根深、陳嶄新、王秋森、陳松楨等）後來與 USC 台灣同學會成員共同促成大洛杉磯台灣同鄉會，並經生活座談會傳承為台美人論壇（Our Journeys 240：半世紀前 UCLA 的那些日子）——今日 USC TSA 即接續此南加州校園台灣同學會傳統。
-
2009-04-02 — ITASA 西海岸年會於 USC 舉辦，HoChie Tsai 與 Serena Wu 在校園工作坊談世代的認同議題，顯示 USC 台灣人學生社群當時已是南加州校園運動網絡的一站（ITASA West Coast and Midwest Conferences 2009）。
-
2016-02-07 — USC Special Collections and Archives 設立 Taiwanese American Digital Archive，由二代 Joanna Chen Cham 以 USC Los Angeles as Subject Resident Archivist 身份發起，為最早系統性收藏台美人歷史的大學檔案館之一；USC 校園因此同時是台灣人學生社團與社區文獻保存的場域（USC Launches New Taiwanese American Digital Archive）。

2026-09-21（slice 09210317-15）語料複核：「USC Taiwanese / 南加大台灣 / TSA」命中僅本身出處 dumplings-usctsa 與 works index；上述 ITASA 2009 及數位檔案館兩筆屬 USC 校園脈絡連帶紀錄，非該社第一手活動，已註明。無衝突須 HOLD。
-
2026-09-22（slice 09212352-12）語料複核：再次 grep「USC Taiwanese／南加大台灣／usc_tsa」，命中仍僅 dumplings-usctsa 與 works index——第一手活動語料已達飽和，無新增可吸收。
-
2026-09-23 (slice 09221100-19) corpus re-check: fresh grep「USC TSA／USC Taiwanese／南加大台灣／usc_tsa」returns only dumplings-usctsa (2017-05-12, already absorbed, publication date matches) and works/index. First-party activity corpus remains saturated; no new absorbable facts, no conflicts to HOLD.
-
2026-09-24 (slice 09230600-9) corpus re-check: fresh grep「USC Taiwanese／南加大台灣／usc_tsa／Taiwanese Student Association」— new hits are sibling-chapter records only (ff33 University of Kansas 1961 第一個台灣同學會, osu-tsa, tsa-university-of-washington, tsapa), not USC TSA first-party material; dumplings-usctsa remains the sole USC-specific record, already absorbed. Verified saturated; sibling chapters belong on their own pages.
-
2026-09-25 (slice 09250900-2) corpus re-check: fresh grep「TSAUSC／USC TSA／Taiwanese Student Association at the University of Southern California」 returns only ourjourneys240 (UCLA/USC 台灣同學會根源敘事, already absorbed), dumplings-usctsa, and index files — first-party corpus saturated, SKIP-deepen, no conflicts to HOLD.
