Mission
Yale Student Organization Lazos Españoles aims to promote and spread the roots and traditions of Spain at Yale. The organization will welcome and be home at Yale for those who are Spaniards, of Spanish descent, or interested in Spanish culture. Events celebrating the rich multicultural context of Spain—such as those disseminating and centering on the political, linguistic, culinary, or artistic aspects of this territory—will serve as a nexus for the members of the organization.
