This month, Austin Community College District’s (ACC) beloved mascot, R.B. the Riverbat, is turning 16 years old. To celebrate, he’ll make pop-up visits throughout the district with limited-edition free swag and sweet treats while they last. 

The visits will take place at each campus Student Life office.

Riverbat Week 2026
