Who are we?

We are sons and daughters, descendants of African Kings and Queens. We are the hopes and dreams of Malcom, Martin and Medgar.  We are the answered prayers of our ancestors. We are the legacy of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. We are doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers, police officers, computer programmers, business analysts, business owners, bankers, hair stylists, barbers, radio personalities, project managers, insurance agents, fire fighters, musicians, preachers, soldiers and much more.

We are the Bethune-Cookman College Class of 1985. We entered to learn on August 23, 1981, and departed to serve on April 29, 1985. We come together October 24 -26, 2025, to celebrate 40 years of service, renew old friends, continue unbroken bonds of friendship established 44 years ago when we first stepped on campus, and to honor the lives of those classmates who have gone before us. We are mothers, fathers, pop-pops, and nanas – we are Mary’s Babies! We are the Wildcats!!!
