ASI Events is a program within Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) led by a student-driven event planning team. From comedians and trivia nights to concerts and speakers, ASI Events provide a space for students to build connections and experience college life outside of the classroom. Best of all, all events are free for students! Take a look at some of the fun events held by ASI Events from this past year. For more information on events, check out the ASI Events Calendar and follow us on Instagram.
Music Events
Dayglow:
The Indie pop band Dayglow graced the Cal Poly Recreation Center on Nov, 15 with support from student band Couch Dog. Students danced the night away and this fun free event, and 15 lucky students got the chance to go backstage and meet the band!
Swae Lee:
On May 14, ASI welcomed Swae Lee for a spring concert in the Cal Poly Recreation Center Main Gym! Swae Lee is the younger and rhythmic half of Southern hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd. Students who registered for free tickets enjoyed an exciting performance with support from student DJ group I.P “What’s the Addy?”.
Battle of the DJs, Silent Disco:
This past year ASI hosted the first ever Battle of the DJ’s! Cal Poly’s best student DJs competed in a silent disco set for students. Attendees received free Insomnia cookies and got the chance to vote for their favorite DJ!
Comedy Events
Chad Kroeger and JT Parr:
In April, ASI welcomed Chad & JT to the Cal Poly Recreation Center Main Gym! The duo host a weekly podcast called ‘Going Deep with Chad & JT,’ have appeared on Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Myers, as well as writing, producing, and starring in the Netflix series, ‘Chad and JT Go Deep.’
Noel Miller:
In February, Noel Miller’s sharp wit had students roaring with laughter as he performed to his largest United States venue in the Cal Poly Recreation Center Main Gym. Beyond being a highly regarded touring comedian, Miller is also recognized as a director, musician, podcaster, and digital sensation. Over 3,400 students were able to enjoy this one of a kind comedic experience.
Social Events
Mustang Mile:
This 12th Annual 5K honors the memory of Carson Starkey, who lost his life to alcohol poisoning after a fraternity hazing incident. Mustang Mile hopes to provide health and wellness resources that educate students on the signs of alcohol poisoning and the dangers of binge drinking.
Goat Yoga and Boba:
In the fall and spring students enjoyed a free yoga session guided by a certified yoga instructor, complementary boba from Sequel Tea, and an abundance of cute baby goats to hang out with.
Poolooza:
Poolooza is the semi-annual pool party at Recreation Center Leisure Pool! It’s the perfect time to cool off in the pool, play beach volleyball with friends, enjoy the music, or indulge in good food.
As we reflect on the past events hosted by ASI, from concerts and hilarious comedy shows to unique social gatherings, one thing is certain: the upcoming year promises even more enriching experiences for Cal Poly students.
