October 12, students and their familias played “Ascender Lotería with a Twist” at Noche de Familia. There were three different dates to choose from to ensure that everyone could be a part of Noche de Familia fantastic evenings: October 12, 19, and 26. These nights were all about bringing students, their families, and mentors together in a warm setting. It was an opportunity to make connections and learn about the resources the college offers that help them in their academic journey. Each night began with a delicious traditional Mexican dinner, during which everyone had the opportunity to chat, share stories, and form lasting bonds. These get-togethers were packed with excitement and delightful surprises. The custom Ascender Loteria was a smashing success, filling the room with laughter and camaraderie as we all eagerly marked our cards in the hopes of winning fantastic prizes. It added a new dimension of fun and connection to the evenings. These nights have become a much-loved event in the Fall, cultivating a strong sense of community and support for the ACC Riverbats.

October 19, Austin Community College hosted Noche de Familia and had a night full of joy and laughter. “¡Los Riverbats! ¡El Taquito!”
