Bethune Cookman University Gears Up for Homecoming Week
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on October 10, 2023 As Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) prepares to welcome friends, family and alumni to campus for homecoming week, leaders are focused on safety and transportation to make sure everyone has fun. Activities for the weeklong celebration began Monday, Oct. 9, and include concerts, step shows, a cookout, pep rally and parade all leading up to the football face-off with Texas Southern on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 3 p.m. Due to the anticipated traffic, B-CU has hired an outside agency to help provide transportation and security services. “Safety is our top priority for anyone who comes to campus,” said Police Chief Gary Price of B-CU security. “And considering recent events, we have hired additional security for our ‘Wildcats Forever’ festivities.” To help alleviate traffic congestion around Daytona Stadium, B-CU has partnered with Daytona Speedway to provide free parking and shuttle services on game day.

About Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) Mary McLeod Bethune founded the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls in 1904. In 1923, it became a co-ed high school as a result of a merger with Cookman Institute of Jacksonville, Fla. One year later, the school became affiliated with the United Methodist Church, evolved into a junior college by 1931 and became known as Bethune-Cookman College. In 1941, the Florida State Department of Education approved a four-year baccalaureate program offering liberal arts and teacher education. On Feb. 14, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved a name change to Bethune-Cookman University. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
