ACC students, faculty, staff, and alumni are encouraged to show their Riverbat pride by wearing purple Thursday, November 16.

Each year ACC celebrates all things Riverbats by commemorating the birthday of its beloved mascot, RB. This year RB turns seven years old. The lights at ACC Highland Campus will be lit purple for the entire week in recognition of his birthday.

Wear purple on Nov. 16 to receive a complimentary ACC Riverbats logo vinyl decal. You can pick one up from the following locations (while supplies last):

• The Office of Student Life at HLC, HYS, PIN, SAC, EVC, RVS, EGN, RRC, NRG, and CYP campuses
• Campus Manager’s Office at RGC
• ACC Mailroom at SVC
• Sixth floor, Room 611.4 at HBC

While you’re on campus, watch for RB, he’s making stops districtwide and bringing treats. Track his moves on Facebook and Twitter and share your spirit with #RiverbatPride.

About RB

R.B. Bbhoggawact is the official name of the ACC Riverbat. Bbhoggawact is an acronym (minus the vowels) for the college’s eight-county service area – Bastrop, Blanco, Hays, Gillespie, Gonzales, Williamson, Caldwell, and Travis. R.B. Bbhoggawact is quite a mouthful, so you can just call him R.B. More about RB>>
