Welcome from the New Orientation/Leadership Program Office

Dear Future Wildcats,
As the Assistant Director of Orientation and Leadership Programs, it is my pleasure to provide you with Wildcat Experience information at the “Great” Bethune-Cookman University. It is my responsibility to work with and support new and transfer students as they transition to the University’s family and community.
At B-CU, we want to ensure that each new student has a positive introduction to college life. To that end, there are a number of programs that are designed to support and provide you with information both before and after you arrive on campus. This website has been created to provide you and your parents/family members with a way to learn about the programs that are available to you.
Wildcat Experience is a two-day program where you will:
- Meet and talk with financial aid advisors, who will help you complete the FASFA application, discuss loan options, scholarships and other funding resources
- Connect with faculty advisor to explore an determine your classes that will start your academic journey
- Reside on campus with fellow classmates and make lifelong friendships
Wildcat Experience! - Summer Orientation dates:
June 29 & 30, July 6 & 7 and July 13 & 14
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at wildcatexperience@cookman.edu or by calling (386) 481-2141.
Best wishes,
Anthony Owens
Assistant Director of Orientation/Leadership Programs
