UC Berkeley got Teochew


It's been a while since I was an undergrad (but only a year since I was a grad student), but college is often the perfect time to explore your TC-ness. Meeting new people who you might just be able to relate with (or even discover that you are related with) is awesome. In my neck of the woods, there's the UC Berkeley Teochew Association (TCA for short), a student-run group for Cal students who are Teochew or interested in Teochew culture and more. The group has been going strong for quite a few years now and I personally know many of the current and ex officers. They put on a lot of fun activities on campus and off. Check out this awesome music video they created: "Teochew People are Everywhere". Also their UCB-TCA YouTube channel with tons of other videos from their events.

Go UCB-TCA!

Note: There might be a Teochew organization on your campus or perhaps you'd like to start one? Go to the Facebook Teo-Chew College Coalition (TCCC)
