On Saturday, Sept. 28, the Associated Students Program Board is hosting UCR's annual Block Party concert.  We wanted to notify you of potential amplified sound and access that may affect the inner areas of campus. The event kicks off at 4 p.m. and will last until 9:30 p.m. However, soundchecks for the artists will begin at 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Please be advised that the center of campus will be fenced and access to the inner areas of campus will be impacted as a result.  Students, faculty, and staff will be asked to walk around the fenced areas beginning at 12 p.m. until the event ends.  We will provide signage that ensures everyone is able to get to where they need to go. Included is a map outlining the alternative routes once the venue is closed at 12 p.m. on Sept. 28.  

You will start to see the set-up of staging on Thursday, Sept.  26;  and set-up of fencing on Friday, Sept. 27. Access to buildings will not be impacted before Saturday, Sept. 28. We appreciate your patience and support of activities for our students that assist them in making a deeper connection to UCR.

We will not offer student verification at the event; students must have a wristband and their R'Card to enter (no exceptions).
