R'side Events: Bringing Great Entertainment to Campus
With annual events and weekly concerts, there is always something to look forward to at UCR. Partnerships between Associated Students Program Board, various departments and student organizations have been established, to bring once-in-a-lifetime performances right here on campus.
What is the Associated Students Program Board (ASPB)?
Associated Students Program Board (ASPB) is working hard to bring quality entertainment and activity to campus. Funded by student fees, the ASPB board is made up of 15 appointed board members who vote on the concerts, special films, lectures and cultural activities that the board produces. Support is also received from the Student Life Office and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.
