                        History of TSA at umass                              

  We are the Taiwanese Student Association, a Registered Student
  Organization at University of Massachusetts Amherst, whose members
  consists both graduate students and undergraduate students.

   The forerunner of TSA was ROCSA (Republic of China Student
   Association), which was found in 1997. Ever since then, we has served
   as a cultural group for the general public, while providing a
   home-feeling community for international students from Taiwan. Due to
   the fact that Republic of China, the formal name of Taiwan, is not well
   known internationally, our 5th president, Ming C Kuo, and vice
   president, Sam Chen, decided to change the name to TSA, since
   Taiwan is better known than R.O.C. By the unanimous vote of over two
   third of our members, ROCSA became TSA in spring 2002.
