The mixture of these R&B styles resulted in one smooth night. All three artists’ styles are rooted in R&B but have distinct features: Dion has a sultry, funky flare Bassy is pop-oriented and H.E.R. This year, ASPB chose three artists - Kyle Dion, Marc E.

This makes the concert more intimate and, consequently, less rowdy than HEAT (R.I.P.), Block Party or Spring Splash, which is ideal for sultry R&B. It’s more low-key than any of the other concerts, being held in the Student Recreation Center (SRC) and lacking the large-scale advertisement that other mini-festivals have. Make sure to stay updated on Highlander Link to register for all of the events that we have planned.Winter Soulstice is an event that comes to UCR once a year courtesy of ASPB, a time for all the R&B heads on campus to come together and sing their hearts out for one night. As we all continue to navigate this virtual environment, ASPB is going to continue to provide fun and safe campus entertainment for all students virtually.Ĭoming up very soon we have Shantay Let's Slay with Bob the Drag Queen in collaboration with LGBTRC, our annual More Than Spoken Word, and Step Forward: A Social Justice Symposium in collaboration with HUB Programs and African Student Programs. This year our events will be filled with tons of giveaways to give back to the students, so make sure to stay updated on our website and on our social media where we will be posting announcements of our upcoming events and giveaways. Although we are not in person, ASPB has worked tirelessly to restructure our events for our virtual environment. Welcome everyone to the 2020-2021 UCR academic school year.

Rooted Resolutions is a business development resource hub for ventures of all sizes. for helping me create this and being super supportive throughout my college journey reminding me that I am powerful everyday. Super excited to announce that in two weeks I will be graduating with a Bachelors degree in Media & Cultural Studies!Īlthough, I have no idea what my next steps are I'm looking forward to continuing to use film and media to tell the stories of my community. It was such a great experience to be able to create this project as I realized there’s so much to look forward to. So, I decided to interview Jaime about their undergraduate and post undergraduate experience. What are my post-graduate plans? What will moving back home be like? I realized I had been thinking so much about what it means to leave undergrad and my fears surrounding leaving. During my time in college, I have been able to be a part of so many different Queer organizations on campus that have taught me so much about my identity and position in the world.Ī couple weeks ago, I made this short film for my film class.
