Dear Riverbats,<\/p>\n
At Austin Community College, we are the proud home of the Riverbats. We\u2019ve heard from members of the ACC community about starting a new tradition to show our spirit and build a strong sense of community pride for our students and each other. <\/p>\n
Starting Friday, July 21, we invite all members of the Riverbat community to join us for \u201cGo Purple Fridays\u201d by wearing your Riverbat purple. Let\u2019s make Fridays ACC\u2019s Spirit Day, a way for faculty, staff, and students to show your pride.<\/p>\n
We would like to thank Dr. Nina Almasy, our Health Sciences Dean, who suggested we go purple as another way to create a sense of belonging for students and employees. The idea was sparked by discussions at last week\u2019s Riverbat Experience: Student Success Summit. We appreciate this and other ideas to help us connect and build community pride.<\/p>\n
Each of you plays an important role in making ACC a welcoming place to learn and work. Thank you for all you do, and Go Purple Friday!<\/p>\n
Regards,<\/p>\n
