Boricuas at Berkeley

Our purpose is to create a space for students from Puerto Rico to connect and share academic, professional, and personal experiences. We also promote an inclusive environment for students from other nationalities in order to foster a spirit of community. As a student organization, our mission is: 1. To create a space for UC Berkeley students (undergraduate and graduate) from Puerto Rico to connect and share academic, professional and personal experiences in order to promote a spirit of community. 2. To provide a means for fostering dialogue on issues concerning Puerto Rico, such as our status as minorities in the United States, our history, social justice, food sovereignty, politics, science, amongst others. 3. To create a space for the creative expression of Puerto Rican culture, customs and traditions including art, music, literature, amongst others. 4. To create an inclusive environment in which Puerto Rican students can interact with students of other nationalities and share our respective cultures.
