You may have seen R.B. around campus, but do you know the history of the Riverbat? 🦇
The Riverbat mascot is only 13 years old, having been introduced in 2010 when our favorite Riverbat R.B. was born. While a Riverbat is a fictional creature, the values, connection, and mission that R.B. and the Riverbat mascot represents are very real, and very close to ACC’s heart. 💜
Don’t miss R.B. and more of ACC’s history at 50 Years Later: A Riverbat Homecoming Fest, coming soon! RSVP now at the link below.
