The University of Guam and the UOG Endowment Foundation is proud to announce that 36 students and 7 faculty members have been awarded scholarships from the Jackson Yang & Family Foundation to participate in the 2025 Summer Taiwan Agritourism Study Abroad Program. This immersive educational experience will provide participants with hands-on exposure to Taiwan’s dynamic agritourism and smart agriculture industries, as well as cultural and language enrichment.

This marks the third exchange program supported through the Jackson Yang & Family Foundation’s partnership with UOG. Since 2023, more than 51 students have participated in these transformative Taiwan study-abroad opportunities, which are designed to strengthen educational ties and foster global leadership among UOG students.

During the 2025 program, students and faculty will visit a range of innovative agritourism businesses and institutions across Taiwan. They will experience smart farming technologies at the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology Smart Agriculture Center, tour the Taiwan Jinshi Coffee Leisure Farm, and explore the Kavalan Whisky Distillery and Kavalan Jiaoxi Orchid Garden with its botanical and ecological exhibition hall. Participants will also engage in cultural and language learning at the National Taiwan Normal University Mandarin Training Center and gain additional exposure to agribusiness through visits to sites such as the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences Smart Rehabilitation and Promotion Center. As part of their experience, they will also earn a Taiwan Tea Assortment and Grading System Certificate.

The study-abroad program is made possible through the generous $600,000 commitment from the Jackson Yang & Family Foundation over three years. This initiative, launched in partnership with the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) Guam, supports UOG’s mission to provide students with global learning opportunities and foster stronger academic and cultural connections across the Asia-Pacific region.

The University of Guam (UOG) Advancement Office is delighted to invite you to a special evening celebrating Triton Alumni. As part of our commitment to fostering lifelong connections, we strive to bring together alumni from Guam and beyond to honor the achievements and impact of our Triton family.
