The Taiwan Culture Association in West Virginia (TCAWV), established in November 2024 in Morgantown, serves as a vibrant hub for Taiwanese residents, students, and professionals in the region. TCAWV aims to foster cultural exchange, promote Taiwanese heritage, and provide essential information and resources about Taiwan to the local community. Through events, workshops, and networking opportunities, the association supports its members in preserving their cultural identity while creating meaningful connections within the broader West Virginia community.
TCAWV extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and enthusiastically supported our inaugural seminar, and a special thank you to our speaker for their insightful presentation and valuable time. Your engagement helped make our second event a success!
Building on this positive momentum, TCAWV is committed to continuing to host more in-depth and meaningful seminars. We look forward to your active participation as we collectively foster cultural exchange and growth within the West Virginia community.
Since 2017, the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC) of Taiwan has promoted the "Taiwan Youth Overseas Engagement Program," selecting outstanding university students from Taiwan to participate in overseas internships and visits during summer vacations. From July 6th to 8th, 2025, the Taiwanese Cultural Association in West Virginia (TCAWV) hosted a successful academic tour for 12 visiting Taiwanese students, introducing them to local academic units and research institutes.
A highlight of the tour was a significant banquet held on July 7th, warmly welcoming these students. The event also served to celebrate the deepening partnership between Taiwan and West Virginia across economic, educational, and cultural fronts. Key themes of the banquet included the growing collaboration between the Taiwanese and West Virginian governments and businesses, and the welcoming of these talented young students, symbolizing the promise of future international exchange.
