This November marks 15 years since the Riverbat was born. ACC is celebrating our beloved mascot’s birthday in true purple pride fashion! Since 2010, R.B. has been more than just a mascot — the Riverbat is a symbol of community, connection, and college spirit that unites students, alumni, and employees across Central Texas.

ACC invites everyone to join in the celebration by wearing Riverbat gear or PURPLE clothing and inviting others to do so all November. Also, keep an eye out for our campuses to LIGHT UP PURPLE.
