NTU GOAT (Global & Overseas Alumni in Taiwan) is an alumni community that connects National Taiwan University graduates from international and cross-cultural backgrounds who are living, working, or maintaining ties with Taiwan. Inaugurated in June 2025, the community is built upon the shared academic journey at NTU and provides a platform for alumni to reconnect, exchange experiences, and support one another in their professional and personal paths beyond campus.
Aligned with the vision of “Building Our Global Home,” NTU GOAT aims to foster a vibrant cross-cultural alumni network that strengthens connections among NTU’s global graduates while supporting the integration of international alumni in Taiwan. By bringing together alumni across industries, cultures, and regions, the initiative also contributes to enhancing NTU’s global engagement and supporting Taiwan’s international talent ecosystem.
NTU GOAT organizes its community engagement through the 3R initiatives: Reconnect, Recharge, and Retreat. These initiatives facilitate alumni interaction through professional networking, mentorship and industry dialogue, as well as social gatherings and alumni events. Reflecting both its name — Global & Overseas Alumni in Taiwan — and the playful spirit of being the “Greatest Of All Time,” NTU GOAT continues to grow as a welcoming global network for NTU alumni.
