Behind every pink ribbon is a story, a loved one, and a reason to keep fighting. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our Wildcat family stands in solidarity with the fighters, celebrates the survivors, honors those we’ve lost, and uplifts everyone impacted by breast cancer.

A Little Pink. A Powerful Message. 💗

Sometimes, the smallest gestures carry the biggest meaning.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, B-CU's Mr. and Miss UNCF, with support from the Pre-Alumni Council, brought our Wildcat community together to paint nails pink and stand in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.

President Dr. Albert D. Mosley joined students in showing that compassion and unity can be expressed through even the simplest acts.

Today, we celebrate survivors, stand with those facing breast cancer, and honor the memories of those we've lost.

💗 One campus. One community. United for a cause.

B-CU Rising: All of Us, All In.

Bethune-Cookman University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences has received two federal awards totaling $5,169,169 from the Health Resources and Services Administration. This marks the first time B-CU has received HRSA funding.

The $2,190,703 WildCat Nursing Student Success Project will strengthen the path from high school through BSN graduation. The $2,978,466 Project RISE-RN will create a new route into registered nursing for working health care professionals.

Separately, a $250,000 appropriation from the State of Florida will help launch B-CU’s dual enrollment nursing program, allowing local high school students to begin earning nursing credits before graduation.

These investments build on the strength of a nursing program ranked No. 2 in the nation by http://Nurse.org and whose graduates have achieved a 100% first-time NCLEX pass rate for more than two years. The funding will help B-CU prepare more nurses to serve rural and medically underserved communities.

What a week to be a Wildcat! 🐾💛❤️

122 years of history. Three athletic victories. National recognition for our Nursing program. And a campus filled with Wildcat pride!

Now, as we reach the halfway point of the semester, the message is simple: Keep going. Keep growing. That degree is still the mission! 🎓
