Despierta Boricua (DB) is the Puerto Rican Student Organization at Yale University. Join our GroupMe: https://groupme.com/join_group/58194424/V2EZaLXX

The Yale Puerto Rican student organization committed to establish, maintain, enrich, sustain, and support the growth and development of the Puerto Rican community at Yale, throughout the United States, and Puerto Rico. Founded in 1972, the main objectives of the organization are to foster a sense of community among Puerto Ricans at Yale, represent and voice the concerns of said community to the Yale administration, and to coordinate and sponsor educational activities dealing with Puerto Rican issues. DB strives to meet these objectives by coordinating a vast array of cultural, educational, and social events, as well as organizing community service initiatives to increase student involvement with the Puerto Rican New Haven community.

Somos el mañana, but tomorrow is built today.

More than ever, we are making history, not because of luck, but because of who we are: fighters, dreamers, builders.

DB is back and building projects that set precedent: national Puerto Rican student conference to cultural programming and work that bridges Yale, New Haven, and the island.

This isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s an investment in a generation of Puerto Ricans who can and will shape the future.

To our Alumni: we would appreciate your support in any and all ways possible - fund, share, etc. In fact, for these events, we would love people to partake in the shaping of our event.

We are looking for alumni who would like to attend and be speakers for this conference. We'd love alumni connected to the New Haven community to aid in outreach to the city.

Somos mucho más grandes que 100 x 35 y no existe nada que no podamos lograr.

If this matters to you, stand with us.
Any amount helps.

Fall ’25 was a full semester for Despierta Boricua.
Este semestre estuvo lleno de trabajo, comunidad y presencia boricua en el campus.

We hosted community events, cooked and shared food, and created spaces for culture and conversation. Organizamos actividades, compartimos comida, y seguimos construyendo comunidad juntos.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who planned, showed up, stayed late, helped clean, and supported DB in any way. Gracias a todas las personas que dieron su tiempo, su energía y su apoyo: nada de esto pasa sin ustedes.

Thank you all, and we look forward to seeing you in Spring ’26. 🌺🎆🇵🇷🎇✨
Gracias de corazón, nos vemos en Spring ’26.
