About DSA
The Division of Student Activities (DSA) is the gateway for those who want to participate in school clubs or school activities at NTHU. A wide variety of school activities are held every year at NTHU, including university anniversary celebrations, Meichu Games, and summer and winter camps.
DSA plays a crucial role in providing assistance and guidance to student clubs and student activities. We are in charge of student club counseling, applications for student activities, and applications for venues and equipment on campus. The mission of the DSA is to give students at NTHU a wonderful and unforgettable college life.
DSA's Main Services
Club Activities
There are over 170 student clubs at NTHU. All clubs can be classified into nine categories: academic, skills, music, service, sports, art, student autonomous, general, and functional clubs.
All clubs provide students with opportunities to develop their mental faculties, social skills, and leadership.
Summer and Winter Camps
Some student clubs and student associations of NTHU hold summer and winter camps during summer and winter vacations. These camps are open to high school, junior high school, and elementary school students.
Diverse activities and lessons are provided to help them deepen their understanding of NTHU.
Meichu Games
The Meichu Games, held in the spring time by NTHU and NCTU (National Chiao Tung University), is known as one of the most important events for our university.
Students can strengthen their loyalty and school spirit by participating in a series of activities.
Anniversary Celebration
The campus is always filled with a joyful atmosphere to celebrate the school anniversary in April each year.
Festivities like concerts, school fairs, performances, and other events hosted by student clubs heartily welcome everyone to enjoy!
Service Learning
Historically, "Service Learning" was a zero-credit subject for undergraduates, requiring at least 60 hours of course participation before graduation. Courses were run by departments, DSA, and Residential Colleges (RC) to achieve the goal of "learning by doing."
NTHU International Volunteers
Established in 2007 to cultivate students’ international mindedness. The program has supported hundreds of students volunteering overseas, including in China, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Belize, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
Selected volunteers must undergo training, execute the project in one year, and share their experiences during "Volunteering Week" in October.
Cross-Strait Program
DSA regularly selects students as representatives for short-term visits (about one or two weeks) to several outstanding institutions in Mainland China.
These institutions include Xiamen University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Dalian University, Nanjing University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Lanzhou University, and more.
