What is there to do in Slippery Rock on the weekends?
Some of our students are from the region and do choose to visit or travel on the weekends, but many remain for weekends of college life. There are over 150 clubs and organizations for students to get involved in. The Union Program Board (UPB) is the major sponsor of student activity events. UPB offers activities featuring local, national, and international entertainers in areas such as performing arts, concerts, films, lectures, and travel. In the past few years, entertainers such as Dierks Bentley, Ludacris, Poverty Neck Hillbillies, Busta Rhymes, T.I., The Clarks, Trace Adkins, Chris Cagle, and people from the Real World and Road Rules have all visited The Rock.
