ASUCR Newsletter: Winter Quarter Week 6

Upcoming Events:

GCAP Farmer's Market
<https://events.ucr.edu/event/gcap-farmers-market-2307?utm_campaign=widget&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=UC+Riverside&_gl=1*mz16as*_ga*MTUxMTg5NDc5Ni4xNzU4NTUxNDAz*_ga_S8BZQKWST2*czE3NzAxMzM4ODMkbzE1NyRnMSR0MTc3MDEzNDMyMSRqMjIkbDAkaDA.*_ga_Z1RGSBHBF7*czE3NzAxMzM4ODMkbzcyJGcxJHQxNzcwMTM0MzIxJGoyMiRsMCRoMA..>
- Wednesday February 11, 2026 9am-3pm, Rivera Lawn

This event will be a hub for students to gather and explore different
vendors ranging from coffee and flowers to farmers and comics. It makes
these vendors accessible to undergraduate students who may be experiencing
food insecurity and may not have the means of receiving fresh produce and
products by going to the local farmers market. Instead, we as GCAP are
bringing to students this resource at no cost to them and at no additional
cost to vendors as well.

>From the Office of the Executive Vice President & Senate

ASUCR's Senate acts as the main decision-making body of student government,
representing the voices of undergraduates across campus. It’s made up of
elected senators from each college, along with executive officers who help
organize and support student-led efforts. The Senate meets every week to
review and vote on legislation, distribute funding to student
organizations, and talk through issues that impact the wider campus
community. Meetings are led by the Executive Vice President and follow a
structured format to keep things fair, open, and inclusive. Overall, the
Senate plays a vital role in making sure student voices are heard and in
improving student life at UCR.

Senate Highlight: Legislation Tracker

The ASUCR Senate reviews and advances student-led legislation throughout
the year. Senate Bills (SB) propose changes to existing ASUCR bylaws,
introduce new bylaws, or put forward Constitutional Amendments, while
Senate Resolutions (SR) express the Senate’s positions on campus or public
issues. All legislation is first reviewed by the Legislative Review
Committee before being brought to the full Senate for a vote. To learn more
about current legislation or to share ideas for future proposals, please
connect with the President Pro Tempore at asucrprotempore at ucr.edu. The
tracker and information about what the Senate is working on can be found
here: https://asucr.ucr.edu/records/senate-legislation

Agenda and Documents can be found on the ASUCR website

>From the Office of the Vice President of Externals Affairs

The Black Student Affairs Team aims to increase black student
representation within ASUCR, especially in active leadership roles in
student government. We aim to education, mobilize, and amplify the voices
of black students at UCR through a legislative lens, pushing for real,
systemic change by engaging in campaigns, lobbying, partnerships, and civic
engagement initiatives.
