Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on June 16, 2022 Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) is celebrating a Day of Giving from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Friday, June 17. The university is asking alumni, stakeholders and those who love and support B-CU to help reach its goal of raising $200,000. “As we prepare for the installation of the Mary McLeod Bethune statue in the U.S. Capitol building later this summer, we call on our Wildcat family to remember the words of Dr. Bethune and our motto: ‘Enter to learn. Depart to serve.’,” said Vice President of Institutional Advancement Sherry Paramore. “We thank our alumni and friends of B-CU nationwide in advance for participating in the Day of Giving and supporting our students during this historic time.” Funds raised on the Day of Giving will go toward supporting current and future B-CU students with scholarships, campus improvements, program updates and more, as the university continues its “Re-Imagining B-CU: Now, Next & Beyond” strategic planning efforts. Those interested in donating can visit Give.Cookman.edu or call (386) 481-2950. ### 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! |
