Officers
Emma Su co-chair
CLASS OF 2025
Hello! I’m Emma, and alongside Grace, I’m excited to be one of your TCS co-chairs this year :) I’m a junior majoring in Symbolic Systems and minoring in Music (flute performance). I lived in Taipei for six years, my favorite street food is stinky tofu, and one of my top TCS memories was making Zhajiangmian for our Iron Chef event last year with JSU. In my free time, I enjoy going on runs/hikes, making Spotify playlists, and watching c-dramas. Excited to keep on growing the TCS community and organizing a lot of fun events this year!!
Matt Hsu financial officer
CLASS OF 2026
I’m Matt, and I’m thrilled to serve as one of your financial officers this year! I’m a sophomore majoring in Math and minoring in either English or Creative Writing. Some of my favorite TCS meetings include late night boba at core meetings and our off campus excursions! I spend my free time writing, reading mystery novels, playing board games, playing tennis, and drinking coffee. I can’t wait for another fun year with TCS!
Tristan Wang social chair
CLASS OF 2023
Hi, I’m Tristan and I’m excited to serve as one of the TCS social chairs this year. I’m a coterm studying Computer Science (HCI). Having spent much of my childhood in Taipei, Taiwan, I have a great appreciation for Taiwanese culture (especially the food) and love sharing aspects of it with those around me. I had a lot of fun participating in TCS night market and karaoke night last year, and can’t wait to plan more activities with y’all. In my free time, I enjoy biking and watching anime.
Carissa Cheng social media manager
CLASS OF 2025
Hello! I’m a junior majoring in International Relations and I’m so excited to be your Social Media Manager for the year. One of my favorite TCS memories was our Karaoke Night! A fun fact about me is that I’m TRYING to learn Taiwanese, so if you wanna help me practice, I’m always down to stumble through a conversation in half Mandarin half Taiwanese. Outside of TCS, catch me dancing with Stanford’s K-pop dance team XTRM 💖
Andrea Kwon night market chair
CLASS OF 2025
Hello from your Night Market Chair girl! I’m low key already stressed thinking about all the planning but I know it’ll be worth it and we’ll all have so much fun :) I’m a symbolic systems major but I’m always taking random classes that don’t count towards it. My favorite memory from TCS was the time we went to this chinese restaurant in SF — I forgot what it was called but it was so delicious and sitting around that big round table with the other TCS members felt like a chinese family reunion (or something like that) — and I’ll be looking forward to more times like that this year. Can’t wait to see you all again and meet all of you new people!!
Katherine Chen advisor
CLASS OF 2023
I’m Katherine, and I’m excited to serve as one of your advisors again this year! I’m a coterm in Computer Science (Visual Computing). One of my favorite TCS memories was our retreat, where we went bowling, did an escape room, strolled around the Palace of Fine Arts, and ate yummy food together! I enjoy reading, walking, playing board games, watching anime, and hanging out with friends.
Ethan Huang advisor
CLASS OF 2023
I’m Ethan, and I’m excited to serve as your dad (or grandpa for those who think I’m older) for the first time this year! I’m a coterm in Management Science & Engineering. TCS has become a second home for me, a place where I can connect with some of my closest friends through Taiwanese culture and share Taiwan's rich history with others. My favorite moments come after each event we hold, big or small – the satisfaction and new friendships that are made every time make all the work we do as a club worth it. I can’t recommend joining TCS enough – you’ll make lifelong friends and create a lasting community at Stanford!
Grace Lee co-chair
CLASS OF 2024
Hi! I’m Grace, I’m really excited to be the other TCS co-chair this year! I’m a senior majoring in Management Science & Engineering. One of my favorite TCS memories is hosting our yearly Night Market during spring quarter. Outside of school, I like baking, crocheting, taking care of my 40+ succulents, and exploring new arts and crafts. Looking forward to having another amazing year with TCS!
Ethan Hsu financial officer
CLASS OF 2026
Hi everyone! My name is Ethan Hsu and I’m a sophomore majoring in Computer Science and Classical History. I look forward to being one of your Financial Officers this year and will strive to make this year as smooth-sailing as possible. TCS means a lot to me because I’ve come to love Taiwanese culture after living there every other summer for my whole life and I hope to share some of that love with you. This is the part where I’m supposed to write a few fun facts — in my free time I like to try new foods, learn new songs on guitar, seek adrenaline-inducing experiences, go sightseeing or hiking, and read.
Justin Choo social chair
CLASS OF 2025
I’m Justin, and I’m one of the social chairs for TCS this year! I’m a junior majoring in Symbolic Systems (Neuroscience) and minoring in Music and Philosophy. My favorite TCS memory is our huge farewell dinner we had at the end of last year – it was awesome to celebrate our seniors with some great food (and a lot of it). A fun fact about me is that I’m a member of an a cappella group on campus, the Stanford Mendicants!
Esteban Wu webmaster
CLASS OF 2023
Hi! I’m Esteban, and I’ll be serving as the TCS webmaster for this year. I’m a senior majoring in Computer Science (HCI) and minoring in East Asian Studies. One of my favorite TCS memories was definitely participating in our Iron Chef event with JSU (which hopefully we can hold again this year)! While I’m not very much of a chef, I love to eat 😀 my favorite Taiwanese food is lu rou fan!
Alice Wang advisor
CLASS OF 2023
Hi, I’m Alice, one of the many TCS moms! I’m a Biology coterm student, but for undergrad I majored in Biology on the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology track with a minor in creative writing. One of my favorite TCS memories is the Iron Chef competition we held last year, where my team made zhajiangmian (it was bussin’, in slang terms). In my free time, I like writing fiction, watching Chinese costume dramas, social dancing, and hanging out with friends.
Jocelyn Chen advisor
