It's a reciprocated method of engagement between the University and its alumni. The University desires to foster greater alumni engagement through more face-to-face and hands-on experiences to mend negative perceptions. The University seeks to embrace alumni, leaning on their expertise, knowledge, and skills.

A Direct Support Organization offers opportunities for alumni to engage at any level that is comfortable for them. Examples of what an alumni DSO can offer may include various organized interactions such as special alumni events and opportunities to interact with students. The possibilities are endless engaging the B-CU family. The new university-sanctioned alumni organization is called the Bethune Cookman University’s Alumni Association (BCUAA).

The National Alumni Association was a third party between alumni and the University. The work done by the NAA has always been appreciated. However, during the Reaffirmation process, it was determined that the University would suffer adverse effects based on the non-renewal of the required Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University and the NAA. Upon learning this important component to Reaffirmation, the University needed to adhere to the SACCOC (SACS) Standards (Standard 5.3) immediately.

A case in point to how any third-party group affects the University is in the Percentage Rate of Alumni Giving. When donations are made to a third party, then subsequently given to the University, it is considered indirect or a soft donation. Indirect donations do not count toward the University’s alumni giving rate. To increase the alumni giving rate, it is more advantageous to give directly to the University. The rate of Alumni “giving” has a positive effect on influencing outside donors who can be paramount to receiving large donations and is advantageous to the University’s fundraising efforts.

B-CU Alumni Are Blazing Trails!

Meet Alumnus Lamar Riddick.

The VERY talented Mr. Riddick recently auditioned for the United States Army Field Band and was selected, alongside another, to hold the first-ever Hip Hop Artist position in US Military history!

In addition to this amazing accomplishment, Mr. Riddick works for the West Virginia University Marching Band, is an award-winning Christian Hip Hop Artist, he owns Revive Collective Music and Revive Collective Apparel, offers internships and jobs to local college students, serves as an event coordinator, curator, and plays drums on the worship team at Mountain Heights in Morgantown WV. He received his BA in Music Recording from B-CU in 2015, and was a member of the drumline in the Marching Wildcats.

Bethune-Cookman University M. Shawn Hundley, Chair of the Department of Music remembers this about Mr. Riddick: "I remember my first time meeting Lamar before classes even started back in August 2011. He came to my office to introduce himself and to personally inform me that he was going to be successful as a student because he was here to take care of business and he had big plans for his future. I had the pleasure of teaching him for four semesters and watched his progress closely for four years. It did not take me long to realize that he was going to achieve his big plans and probably more. We still stay in touch and he also wants to give back to B-CU by visiting with our current students and motivating them to go after their goals and dreams."

Mr. Riddick, we're so proud of you and your accomplishments, thank you for all that you do, and will continue to do for B-CU.
