Dear Friends,
The Harvard Taiwan Leadership Conference (HTLC) centers its mission on engaging with students in Taiwan in a cross-cultural, creative, and collaborative manner as both teachers and as peers. Hailing from a variety of backgrounds, our teachers, teaching assistants, and students have a lot to share and learn from each other. The conference is not meant to impose leadership skills, but rather to facilitate a close network of young leaders dedicated to supporting each other and to transforming the communities around us.
Many students reflect that the most important thing they gained from this experience is a lifelong supportive, kind-hearted HTLC family. We personally found the most memorable experiences to be our interactions with our college peers and high school mentees. With academic lectures, a career fair, interactive group discussions, public speaking workshops, and an introduction to American culture and lifestyle, students gain real-life practical skills and an exposure to a diversity of thoughts that may have challenged their previously held beliefs. The safe, immersive English environment benefits our students at all different speaking levels.
We believe in HTLC’s mission in fostering a creative, critical, and collaborative environment that can develop strong leaders who can impact their communities. We hope that you find our mission compelling and worthwhile, and we invite you to join us this August.
Best,
Andrew Yang '20, Emily Dich '19
