Message from the Chairman Dear Friends and Colleagues, The 2015-16 Academic Year (AY) has been a tremendous year of growth for Bethune-Cookman University. New faculty and staff; capital improvements such as our two new residence halls; and our Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Legacy Gala, the largest fundraising gala in our community, are just a few of the profound attributes gaining our university national recognition. We are also proud of the many new partnerships and corporate internships that have been established over the last year. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, I am proud of the work of the Board and their efforts to raise academic standards. In addition, they not only give, but they also raise new dollars to help our students Ascend to Greatness. I am honored to steward the outstanding legacy of our founder and namesake, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. She gave her life to serving others, and her legacy, built upon faith, reminds us daily to keep “leaning on the everlasting arms,” as we make a conscious effort to serve the world around us.

This year’s Annual Report highlights the great achievements earned in AY 2015-16 under the leadership of our sixth president Dr. Edison O. Jackson. It is my hope that the highlights will inspire you to remain connected to our beloved B-CU and partner with us to make BethuneCookman University the best private research-based liberal arts institution in the nation—that just happens to be an HBCU. Sincerely, Dr. Joe Petrock Chairman, Board of Trustees

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

Message from the President Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters, Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) is making tremendous strides in higher education. During my presidency, I have witnessed the potential for progress and prosperity blossom into quantifiable stories of success. Over this past academic year alone, B-CU has added 1,200 new living spaces on campus through the construction of two (2) new residence halls. We have implemented two new academic schools, the Bob Billingslea School of Hospitality Management and the School of Religion. In addition, we have added a new baccalaureate program in Health and Exercise Science, a graduate degree in Athletic Training, and much more. The University is committed to maximizing opportunities for our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success. B-CU is the only university in the State of Florida to receive the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) certification which allows our students to reach their educational goals by enrolling in our Online College. In addition, plans for a brand new four-story, 110,000 sq. ft. student life center were recently finalized. These accomplishments are a testament to the growth and revitalization being experienced at the University. Our Office of Institutional Effectiveness continues to measure our institutional progress through our Annual Report Card. As we move forward in the fourth year of the Strategic Plan, I am increasingly excited about the future of the University. Both documents are available on our website

at www.cookman.edu and we encourage you to follow us as we continue Ascending to Greatness! I wish to express my sincere gratitude to you, our partners, as we continue this divine journey of radical transformation. We cannot do this without you. Your support allows us to develop the next generation of global leaders, fully equipped to make a difference in the world, armed with our Core Values of Faith, Integrity, Respect, Service, and a Thirst for Knowledge. The legacy of our founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, lives on because of your selfless contributions. With your continued assistance, we will transform Bethune-Cookman University into the best small research-driven University in the nation; that just happens to be an HBCU. Sincerely, Dr. Edison O. Jackson President

Year in Review: Delivering on the Promise of Student Success

ethune-Cookman University, is one of Florida’s premiere higher education institutions. Over the past few years, B-CU has strongly demonstrated its commitment to become the best small research-driven University in the nation. The University, located within three miles of the beach, is home to nearly 5,000 students, faculty and staff, and we are excited about welcoming even more over the next few years. B-CU is a place of excellent leadership, continuous growth and unlimited opportunities. Under the leadership of President Edison O. Jackson, the University is Ascending to Greatness. B-CU has reached several milestones this year. The school reported record enrollment with more than 4,000 students in attendance. In addition, the largest class of freshmen was welcomed onto the campus for AY 2015-2016. With its increase in enrollment, the university is happy to house 3,000 students on campus, the most in the school’s history. B-CU students are enjoying the luxury of two new residence halls, the Thomas and Joyce Hanks Moorehead Residential Life Center (RLC) and the other, known as Phase II. Both halls offer modern housing and collaborative living and learning spaces and are the first major steps toward positioning the University to upgrade all

residential facilities. The University also announced plans for a four-story, 110,000 sq. ft. state-of- the-art student life center. The anticipated new student nucleus of the campus will feature housing, student and food services, a wellness facility, an amphitheater, multiple outdoor lounges and more. As B-CU continues to expand, the importance of quality and relevant academic programs are essential. B-CU announced the opening of its School of Religion and the Bob Billingslea School of Hospitality Management earlier this year, which was created in honor of and is supported by University Trustee and retired Walt Disney executive, Dr. Bob Billingslea. Dr. Deanne Williams-Bryant serves as Dean of the Bob Billingslea School of Hospitality Management, Students seeking the bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management take a combination of courses in lodging, food servicing and tourism. The school offers opportunities with reputable companies including Walt Disney World, Marriott, Starwood, Hilton and Sodexo. The program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Management (ACPHA). Rev. Dr. Randolph Bracy was appointed as founding dean of the School of Religion.

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

The school offers bachelor’s degrees in Religion and Philosophy and Christian Ministry and trains students to be servant leaders in industries that desire moral and ethical leadership. B-CU also celebrated several accreditations and accreditation renewals. The School of Nursing received re-accreditation by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). In addition, the Computer Engineering program received accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). To add to academic excellence, eight of the University’s College of Education programs are now accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation; and the Music and Music Recording Technology Programs are accredited by the National Association for Schools of Music (NASM). The University is experiencing growth, not just on-campus, but within its top-ranked Online College, as well. Lead by Dr. Arletha McSwain, B-CU’s Online College is the only United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) certified program in the State of Florida; and is the second HBCU in the nation to receive this certification. President Jackson envisions B-CU to be known as a nationally recognized, research-centered university that just happens to be an HBCU. Research is essential to the longevity of B-CU. This past year, we submitted a total of fortytwo (42) proposals, securing University grants in the amount of $11,617,952.17. Dr. Diana Lee and Dr. Danyell Wilson were named winners of the 2016 HERI Research Scholar Leadership Program Award. Dr. Hector Torres received a $350,000.00 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to investigate the development of top-tier STEM graduates. Dr. Bridgett Rahim-Williams, Associate Dean of Research for the Petrock College of Health Sciences, is conducting research regarding osteoarthritis in minority women that is

supported by a $726,531.00 grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH). B-CU is working hard to open up more doors of opportunity for its students. The University recently partnered with Arizona Summit Law (Summit) to offer graduates and alumni opportunities to attend law school. Over twelve million dollars ($12M) in scholarships are offered to qualified students from B-CU and other HBCUs. To support the success of this venture, Summit and B-CU are developing an intensive LSAT-readiness program, establishing a pre-law institute that will prepare undergraduate students for law school, and creating a Three-Three Accelerated Legal Scholars Program that will help students get their undergraduate and law degrees in six (6) years. The partnership will also aid in the creation of a joint graduate degree program. This year, the College of Business and Entrepreneurship (CBE) was recognized as Business Program of the Year at the

6th Annual HBCU Awards in Washington, D.C. Under the leadership of Dean Dr. Ida Wright, the CBE prepares students for careers in a myriad of business-related fields and is home to the Center for Entrepreneurship and Development (CEED). CEED enables students to integrate and apply classroom-learned concepts with real-life experiences through ventures such as providing free marketing and planning services to local residents and small businesses. Bethune-Cookman University is carrying the legacy of its beloved founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. She left a charge to educate and empower; and B-CU is committed to doing that and more. President Jackson is confident in his University family and AY 15-16 proved to be one of great milestones and accomplishments.

GOAL #1

Enhance Academic Enterprise

-CU continues to operate in excellence by providing increased learning opportunities to its students, on-campus and online. This year, the University added more academic offerings and off-campus collaborations. These strategies resulted in student success stories in various disciplines, more internship placements and program diversity. In addition, the university continues to demonstrate the vitality of academic integration across all sectors. The University works diligently to continuously add more programs to attract a diverse student population. Bethune-Cookman University added two new schools to Academic Affairs, the School of Religion and the Bob Billingslea School of Hospitality Management. The School of Nursing is in good standing with the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and was granted continuing accreditation through academic year 2021. The school has shown great progress with an improved curriculum and a rise in NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) passing rates. The universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCLEX passing rate increased from 59% in 2014 to 66% in 2015; and currently boasts an 81% passing rate for 2016. In AY 15-16, B-CU made history with the launch of HBCU Records. HBCU Records, a student-run record label, was formed by the Mike Curb Music Business, Entertainment & Sports Institute (Curb

Institute) on campus. Mike Curb, the legendary record company mogul, politician and NASCAR owner, provided the endowment for B-CU to create the Curb Institute. HBCU Records is a great addition to B-CUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich musical heritage and promises to focus on the art of true artist development. The student label staff functions include artist and repertoire (A&R), marketing, music production and promotions, and social media. HBCU Records signed two B-CU students to its artist roster: L. Paul Jackson, Jr. (contemporary gospel) and DJ DGlove (hip hop/EDM).

GOAL #2

Promote Student Success

tudents at B-CU are demonstrating extraordinary talent and making their marks all over the world. There are Wildcats in the White House, in the board rooms of Fortune 500 companies and they are making a difference with leading community organizations. B-CU students are taking the lead in their academic endeavors and preparing to be leaders in their respective industries. Innovation proved to be a key ingredient for four Bethune-Cookman University students competing in Ford’s 2015 HBCU Community Challenge. The winning team from B-CU developed a program entitled “Getting Back to the Roots” highlighting middle school students’ work after class growing their own food using hydroponics in an on-site greenhouse. The middle school students were provided information about healthy food choices and given resources to

continue their own hydroponic garden upon completion of the program. Ford Motor Company awarded $15,000 to the winning team, which included Ebone Sturrup (team leader, criminal justice major), Jasmine Adamson (business administration major), Toyneisha Whitaker (mass communications major) and Jeislor Davis (hospitality management major). The Bethune-Cookman Chapter of the National Society for Leadership and Success, Sigma Alpha Pi Honor Society, welcomed more than 160 new inductees for the Class of Fall 2015. The society’s motto is “We Build Leaders Who Make a Better World.” The mission of Sigma Alphi Pi is to help students discover and achieve their goals. It provides a community where like-minded, success-oriented individuals come together and help one another succeed. Twenty B-CU students were selected

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

as youth counselors for a new program funded by a four-year $600,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment. The grant, awarded in December 2015, provides for a Youth Theology Institute (YTI) at BethuneCookman University. The Institute will host several projects during the grant period, but its centerpiece is called Exploring Gifts and Graces: Summer Adventure in Theology and Leadership (EGG). EGG is a nine-day, all expenses paid, residential theology and leadership summer experience for high school students on the B-CU campus. The student counselors attended a semester-long training program in preparation for their summer work. The training included helping younger teens think deeply about Christian faith and practice, find ways to connect their faith with social action, and discerning their individual gifts, calling, and purpose.

GOAL #3

Increased Access, Opportunity & Affordability

-CU is capturing the attention of students all over the world who are excited about our legacy and impressed with the attributes of our top-ranked institution. The university is consistently seeking to expand our reach by partnering with various entities throughout the country. In addition, we understand the importance of a unique approach to recruiting and retaining our students. Therefore, the university uses the personal touch to introduce and maintain great relationships with students upon admission to the university and throughout their matriculation. The B-CU Office of Admissions made groundbreaking history with more than 12,000 student applications. The Office of Admissions and its director, Manicia Finch, implemented several new strategies to increase prospective student applications and improve the academic profile of the incoming class for Fall 2016. The inaugural Wildcat Experience Tour reached over 5,000 students across Florida, Georgia and Alabama; and was used as a continuous

recruitment tool throughout the academic year. The tour was established to increase student engagement, heighten brand awareness, and build strong relationships with high school administrators and B-CU alumni in surrounding areas. The tour was spread across several counties in Florida and expanded to Georgia and Alabama. B-CU also offered Skype recruiting sessions for communication and engagement. On the Wildcat Experience Tour, high school juniors and seniors were able to submit applications, receive on-site admission and scholarship offers. In addition, Bethune-Cookman University expanded its reach with a new guaranteed transfer agreement with The California Community Colleges. Students that meet certain academic criteria for admissions are guaranteed acceptance into B-CU and 11 other HBCUs. This move will increase B-CU’s presence in California and heighten awareness of HBCUs, overall. B-CU accepted its first California transfer students for the Fall 2016 semester. B-CU is adding law to its offerings by

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

partnering with Arizona Summit Law School (Summit) in an effort to address the lack of diversity in the legal profession. The partnership focuses on increasing the number of HBCU graduates who attend and successfully complete the law school entry process and prepare them for admission to the practice of law. To launch the partnership, Summit and B-CU invested an unprecedented $12.5M in full scholarships and living assistance for qualified students from B-CU and other HBCUs. B-CU is making it even more beneficial for military personnel to be Wildcats. The university is designated a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media, the leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds. The Military Friendly® Schools designation is awarded to the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students. Active duty military personnel can attend B-CU for nearly half the cost per credit hour. Classes can be taken on campus or online.

GOAL #4

Enhance Operational Effectiveness and Efficiency

he University community demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing operational effectiveness and efficiency this past year. A clear sense of urgency was instilled in all vice presidents to reach the necessary goals of strategic, evidencebased Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This success of each KPI, ultimately, will measure whether the University is fulfilling its stated mission. The internal planning, budgeting and assessment processes are important in helping the University to make progress towards its strategic goals, which are the priorities designed to move the excellence agenda. For example, in the academy, 100% of academic programs participated in the assessment process which is exceptional for any university. In addition, the majority of academic programs identified at least four ways to implement improvements based on data. This demonstrates that the faculty at B-CU are committed to using student learning data as vital information to enhance student engagement. Furthermore, the quality of numerous academic programs reports have vastly improved from previous years, which indicates that more faculty are

strategically planning and assessing with a keen sense of academic excellence. The University proudly reports that most of the annual academic program reports (82%) submitted met the set criteria. At B-CU, one of the main goals in the assessment of student learning is the improvement of the teaching and learning environment. Upon analysis, 41 different uses of assessment results were identified by the faculty with a high concentration in enhancements in pedagogy (teaching). In addition, faculty identified several ways to improve the curriculum, resource allocation, and faculty and student development. Therefore, as the University sets out to educate and empower people to seek their own solutions; the process is modeled internally by B-CU’s talented faculty. Satisfaction With a focus on student satisfaction, several student support service areas reported vast improvements in response times and a decrease in service backlog based on streamlining of processes and strategic realignments of personnel in areas such as facilities management, financial aid, and admissions. In addition, B-CU’s engagement in the Noel-Levitz

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

Student Satisfaction Inventory revealed students strong satisfaction with academic advising, tutoring services, health services, library resources and services, and new student orientation. Efficiency, Effectiveness & Quality Through participation in the National Survey of Student Engagement, BethuneCookman University is proud of our highimpact practices that increase the quality of our students’ transformative experiences without the need for increased spending. For example, 57% of B-CU’s seniors reported having participated in learning communities compared to 33% among other Southeastern private institutions. Furthermore, 24% of B-CU’s seniors expressed that most or all of their courses included engagement in communitybased projects compared to 13% among other Southeastern private institutions. The strategic effort to increase quality, accountability, and efficiency among B-CU’s administrative and student support service areas has also generated an increase in faculty and staff training hours for 2015-16. Time was particularly spent in the areas of human resource onboarding, strategic planning, assessment, and utilizing educational technologies.

GOAL #5

Increase Institutional Visibility and Image

ethune-Cookman University is diligently working to increase our audience and impact. The university continuously engages our rapidly growing base via traditional outreach, social media and advertising. Current metrics show that social media is a vital distribution channel for the university. Therefore, we increased the use of videos, photos and graphics to tell our stories. B-CU also gained national recognition with widespread news coverage of its unique research programs, student leaders and impactful alumni. Bethune-Cookman University was featured in the BE Smart section of the March 2016 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine. The university had the pleasure of welcoming the magazine editor, Derek Dingle, to our campus to interview President Jackson and other university leaders. The article is a great representation of how B-CU continues to Ascend to Greatness and set trends among HBCUs and other higher

education institutions. In a climate of decreased enrollment, B-CU proudly reports record numbers and is offering more to its students. Moreover, the B-CU staff is called upon to offer their expert opinions to media and participate on community panels. Additionally, the university is increasing its brand recognition via partnerships and nationally acclaimed awards. B-CU won “Best Business Program of the Year” at the HBCU Digest 6th Annual HBCU Awards. B-CU was named a finalist in three other categories for its work this year: President of the Year (Dr. Edison O. Jackson), Coach of the Year (Loritz “Scooter” Clark) and Alumnus of the Year (Rufus L. Wilson). The finalists were chosen from more than 600 submissions; and winners were selected by a panel of previous HBCU Award winners, presidents and chancellors, media members, alumni, and students. The 2016 winners were announced at the HBCU Awards held at the University of Washington, D.C.

GOAL #6

Upgrade Physical Infrastructure

he B-CU campus is offering an eye-catching view with newly constructed buildings and signage. The university is proud to house nearly 3,000 students on campus for the first time in its history. This enables students to safely learn and live at B-CU. The university opened two new residence halls, offering 1,200 additional beds to its students. The Thomas and Joyce Hanks Moorehead Residential Life Center (RLC), formerly Phase I, opened in March; and Phase II, the second building, welcomed students at the start of the new academic year. The design of each building is integrated into the historic fabric of the campus and comprised of faĂ§ades banded with three different types of brick, including cast stone. The buildings are four stories tall and structurally constructed of CMU block walls and a flat, parapet roof. The buildings are comprised of exterior courtyard common areas, student living and study rooms, and interior common areas that include multipurpose, fitness,

lounge, and laundry rooms. Additionally, each building contains student and staff offices, along with an entry lobby reception area. Each student room (unit) houses two students and is based off one of two unit modules. As the student population grows, the campus adjusts and accommodates. The university recently announced the approval for plans to build a new student life center. The center will be a fourstory, 110,000 sq ft building designed to centralize the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse array of student life activities on campus. The project is still in the programmatic stage; however, the first phase of architectural drawings are planned for completion in early 2017. The center will consist of a two-story podium containing student services, food services, state-of-the-art wellness facilities, and common areas. It will also feature a linear, two-story student housing element that contains an elevated, exterior quad area.

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

Student Life

he Department of Student Life worked diligently throughout the 2015-2016 year to provide students with opportunities to explore, connect, and participate in extracurricular activities. Through strategic program planning, activities were created for students to participate in energetic activities that enabled them to grow personally, and explore new ideas and interests. The Department offered students chances to take part in community service experiences, join Greek Letter Organizations, participate in Student Government Association (SGA) and the Student Activities Board (SAB). Sixty-five (65) student organizations were available on campus for students.

visited the young ladies each week and led different sessions and activities with the girls. The topics discussed included bullying, realizing self-worth and thankfulness. The girls also created thank you cards for challenged families and veterans. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life collaborated with the Odessa Chambliss Center for Health Equity to raise funds for breast cancer research, created teams to participate in the third annual 5K walk, and served as volunteers for setup/breakdown, registration and the hospitality tent. SGA sponsored a trip to the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March. SAB sponsored the Atlanta MLK 2016 Immersion Trip. This trip afforded students the opportunity to explore the Civil and Human Rights Museum, sort and donate books to the “Books for Africa Foundation”, and attend the annual Honda Battle of the Bands. The Royal Court spent time talking about their college experience with students at Southeast Halifax High School in North Carolina. Many of the students in the audience shared that they never considered going to college. College was viewed as something only “certain people” did. B-CU students packaged over 10,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now. Fifteen B-CU students and two advisors from B-CU connected with the “Break A Difference Alternative Spring Break” program to engage in an immersive week-long service experience in San Francisco, CA. This trip concentrated on education and service around the homelessness in the San Francisco Bay area. Participants volunteered in the Alameda County Food Bank, Richmond County Boys and Girls Club, and local shelters. B-CU students prepped and

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

Civic and Community Engagement

-CU has always maintained a connection to Midtown. As a major economic driver in the community, B-CU is dedicated to improving the opportunities and resources available to community residents. It is President Jackson’s desire to see Midtown return to the vibrancy it once possessed when it was known as Midway. President Jackson believes that the University has a responsibility to collaborate with the surrounding community to ensure its growth. Once again, B-CU offered STEM focused and other educational summer programs through the K-12 Community Initiatives office. In addition, the construction of the new residence hall projects had a direct impact by providing jobs to local residents. B-CU partnered with Halifax Health to present the 2016 Men’s Health Forum. The event welcomed men from the community and provided free testing, screenings and speaker sessions. The topics covered included social determinants of health, health inequities in Black males, spiritual and physical health, prostate health, heart disease and obesity, diet and diabetes. The featured speaker, Mr. Joe Madison, was sponsored by Embassy of Hope Foundation and Trustee Dr. Michelle Carter Scott. The attendees were also provided lunch and special gifts. The College of Business hosted the Business Entrepreneurship and Education (BEE) Academy Summer Hydroponics and Entrepreneurship Showcase. Approximately 65 students had the opportunity to present their business

ideas and showcase information they learned about healthy living and starting a business. The BEE Academy was a threeweek summer camp with New Hope Human Services to provide solutions based entrepreneurship programs to middle and high school students. The students learned about nutrition, how to build a vegetable garden and how to read food labels. Bethune-Cookman University hosted a power panel to explore various solutions to keep students in school and avoid the judicial system. The “Addressing the School to Prison Pipeline Through Effective Dropout Prevention Strategies” forum recognized our common interest of providing all children with an opportunity for success. It also strategically and collaboratively explored methods to address the well-documented challenges of Black males in the educational process. The various panelists spoke about the issues within their particular areas of focus and offered insight from their professional points of view. The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED), under the College of Business and Entrepreneurship, was selected by the Office of Women’s Business Ownership of the Small Business Administration to serve as one of its challenge competition hosts for the second year. The InnovateHER Challenge, sponsored by Microsoft and the Small Business Administration (SBA), affords an opportunity for individuals and small businesses to compete at the national level for cash prizes totalling over

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

$70,000, provided by Microsoft. It also encompasses a national prize competition aimed at unearthing products and services that impact and empower the lives of women and families. These local business competitions culminated in a live pitch in the final round. During the InnovateHER finals, up to 10 finalists competed for the top three cash prizes.

Government Relations

major highlight of the legislative season was the 3rd Annual Wildcat Day at the Capitol on Wednesday, January 27th, 2016. It was an amazing experience! Over 450 students, faculty, staff, alumni, board members and community supporters traveled to Tallahassee to rally, lobby, and show their support for B-CU. Members of the Wildcat Nation left Daytona Beach in search of an opportunity to see what happens behind the scenes during the legislative session. The “Rally for Education” was especially impactful as members of the Senate, House and Black Caucus shared words of wisdom and inspiration. Attendees heard from Rep. Dwayne Taylor, Rep. Bobby Powell, Rep. Shevrin Jones, Rep. Fred Costello, and Sen. Dwight Bullard. Special thanks to the following Board of Trustees

members who traveled and addressed attendees at the rally: Trustee Terry Prather, Trustee Joyce Odongo, Trustee John Rogers, and National Alumni Association President and Trustee Jennifer Adams. Additionally, B-CU was recognized from the floor during the afternoon session of the House. Through the collaborative efforts of our lobbyists, legislators and Office of Public Affairs, we set an aggressive goal for the FY 16-17 legislative season. Prior to the start of session, we submitted requests totaling $10,000,000, an increase from last year’s appropriations by 103%. Funding was requested to support a Bridge to Success Program that will provide access and retention support to get students gainfully employed. This priority directly addresses the Governor’s “Ready, Set, Work”

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

University Challenge to get 100% of our graduates from two of our most popular programs gainfully employed within one year of graduation. Our priorities focused on the College of Health Sciences and Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development. At the close of the legislative session on Friday, March 18th, 2016 Governor Scott signed the largest budget in Florida’s history after vetoing $256.1 million. In an unprecedented move, he released a veto list before receiving the budget. His list included $68.7 million in vetoes to the education budget. However, our legislative appropriations, totalling $5,316,238 (a 7.9% increase), were approved by Governor Scott.

Research at B-CU

-CU is becoming one of the best, small research universities in the nation. With $11,987,833 secured in grant funding, the faculty and students are actively engaged in innovative research projects and B-CU will soon become a powerhouse in the academy known for its cutting-edge research. Associate Professor, Dr. Hector Torres, recently received a $350,000 grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for investigative research on how to produce STEM graduates through argumentative expertise, evidence-based reasoning and intervention. Dr. Torres and academic peers, Dr. Raphael Isokpehi, and Dr. Claudette McFadden, assist on the grant project and work with students in environmental science and biology courses to garner research findings. Dr. Torres expects that The proposed Broadening Participation Research (BPR) will expand the scientific literacy research at Bethune-Cookman University beyond the science curriculum. It is his belief that the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) framework for scientific literacy development requires students to engage in dialogue, discussion, debate and argumentation. B-CU’s College of Health Sciences (CHS) is continuing its research on minority health and health disparities in chronic disease self-management among African American and non-Hispanic White women, ages 45-75, with knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain. The research project, the Pain, Physical Activity, Aging, Arthritis Study (PPAAS), is supported by a grant of $726,531 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is led by Dr. Bridgette Rahim-Williams, the Associate Dean of Research at B-CU. The research is uncovering the connection between fun,

physical activities and the painful ailments associated with osteoarthritis and is expected to continue through 2018. Graduate students and faculty from the College of Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CSEM) are making waves with their research entitled “The Living Shorelines Project,” that focuses on types of pollutants and their existence in living shoreline environments. According to Dr. Cho, Lead Researcher and Professor of Environmental Science at B-CU, researchers are comparing and contrasting the type of pollutants that are prevented from entering lagoons and ponds near living shorelines against homes with turf grass. Ten lagoon-front homes in five communities with retention ponds were solicited as a part of the research project. B-CU received a three year grant award from the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant in the amount of $494,694 to implement this initiative. Dr. Danyell Wilson, Associate Professor in the CSEM, and Dr. Dianna Lee, Director of the Odessa Chambliss Center for Health Equity, were named winners of the 2016 HERI Research Scholar Leadership Program Award. The award supports the research training of Florida underrepresented minority (URM) investigators and postdoctoral fellows. Both awardees headed to the University of Florida (UF) to complete a summer research rotation. Dr. Diana Lee concentrated on adolescent tobacco use intervention tools and spent time developing an electronic aid to identify adolescents who are at risk for tobacco use. Dr. Danyell Wilson focused on the characterization of the UF Health Cancer

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

Center’s catchment area. They both spent approximately two weeks at UF in July. In an effort to increase research activities, Bethune-Cookman University added another valuable tool, a research council. The Research Council is committed to supporting the research interests and academic work of faculty and students; strengthening and providing the necessary rigor and productivity for the University’s sponsored research activities; and engaging external partners and stakeholders. The B-CU Research Council is comprised of: Dr. Adrienne Cooper, Dr. E.M. Ekanayake, Dr. Rose Grace, Dr. Susan Holmes-Walker, Dr. Raphael Isokpehi, Dr. Randy Nelson, Dr. Bridgett Rahim-Williams, Mrs. Chelsea Shell and Dr. Hector N. Torres.

Athletics

ethune-Cookman University Athletics enjoyed a year like none other during the course of the 2015-16 athletic season. Not only did B-CU win on the field of competition, but several teams received academic honors and awards to highlight the season. Bethune-Cookman University swept both the Mary McLeod Bethune and Talmadge Layman Hill awards, announced during the annual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) summer meetings in Naples, Florida. The sweep was the first time a single institution has swept at least a share of both awards since Hampton in 2004. Bethune-Cookman won its third consecutive Talmadge Layman Hill Men’s Award (recognizing the league’s top overall male athletic program), while the Wildcats shared the Mary McLeod Bethune Women’s Award (recognizing the league’s top female athletic program) with Florida A&M. For B-CU, it was the first time the Maroon and Gold has ever won the Mary McLeod Bethune Women’s Award in school history. For the fourth consecutive season, Bethune-Cookman captured at least a share of the MEAC Football title. Under the direction of first-year head coach Terry Sims, the Wildcats brought home their eighth overall league title, and helped Sims to a 9-2 season overall. In the process, the Cats concluded the season with a victory over rival Florida A&M in the annual Florida Blue Florida Classic – representing the fifth consecutive win against the Rattlers. Additionally, Sims was named the 2015 MEAC Coach of the Year. Under the direction of head coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis, the B-CU women’s basketball team picked up its first regular season title. Blair-Lewis earned MEAC Coach of the Year accolades, while Kailyn Williams collected Defensive Player of

the Year honors. The Wildcats finished the season with the school’s first-ever postseason appearance, competing in the Women’s NIT against Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers, Florida. Men’s basketball also brought accolades: LaRon Smith was named MEAC Defensive Player of the Year, while guard Jordan Potts was tabbed an HBCU All-America selection, as well as collecting NABC honors. The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) also announced that the Bethune-Cookman University Men’s Basketball team would be recognized in its fourth annual Team Academic Excellence Awards, created by the NABC Committee on Academics. Head Coach Jason Beverlin and the Bethune-Cookman Baseball team picked up their 18th overall MEAC Tournament title, while advancing to the NCAA Gainesville [Fla.] Regional. The Wildcats ended the year 29-27, and landed eight players on the All-MEAC Team. Respectfully, first baseman Danny Rodriguez was named MEAC Rookie of the Year, as well as a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America, announced by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Catcher/designated hitter Michael Cruz was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the Major League Baseball Draft, while Clay Middleton was taken by the Texas Rangers. Director of Track & Field Donald Cooper continued to show his excellence as a track & field coach, directing the Wildcats men’s indoor and outdoor teams to a sweep of the 2016 Indoor and Outdoor Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championships. In addition, Cooper was selected Most Outstanding Coach at both events. For the Wildcats, it was their second consecutive MEAC Outdoor crown. Brittany Williams, a first-year head coach after serving as an assistant for

Bethune-Cookman University | Annual Report 2015-16

two seasons, was named the 2015 MEAC Volleyball Coach of the Year after leading the Cats to their first-ever MEAC Southern Division crown. B-CU advanced to the title match of the MEAC Championships before falling to Howard University. In men’s and women’s golf, it was a perfect sweep at the PGA National Minority Championships. In dramatic fashion, Bethune-Cookman Men’s Golf Team reestablished itself as champions, winning the 30th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship, contested at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida on the famed Wanamaker Course. For the Wildcats, it was their third title in the last four years, after failing to win the title in 2015. BethuneCookman (296-304-307=907) captured the team title in playoff fashion – the first time

the Wildcats have won in a team playoff of a tournament in more than four seasons. For the fifth time in five years, the Bethune-Cookman Women’s Golf Team captured the team trophy at the 30th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship, contested at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The final round took place on Sunday, May 8, on the Ryder Course. Bethune-Cookman (295-302-300=897) used a five-player roster in order to help seventh-year head coach Loritz “Scooter” Clark and the Wildcats continue making history at the PGA Minority Collegiate Championships. In the victory, the Wildcats extend their already record-breaking streak of consecutive PGA Minority titles. The victory was also the Wildcats’ 13th in the 19-year history of the Women’s Division. Bethune-Cookman used a 30-stroke advantage in its favor, racing past Chicago State (303-306-308=927), who finished as the tournament runner-up.

Black Male College Explorers Program

ifty young males from the local community have the opportunity to gain handson experience in aviation, STEM, and graphic communications through The Black Male College Explorers Program (BMCEP). The Black Male College Explorers Program is an intervention program designed specifically for black males who show potential to become high school dropouts. The goals of the program are to prevent these students from dropping out, facilitate their admission to college, and significantly increase their chance of earning a college degree. The year-round initiative is implemented to empower teenage youth through academia and character enrichment to maximize their full potential. The program is operated by Mr. Jermaine McKinney, Director of Black Male Initiatives at B-CU.

The B-CU Black Male College Explorers Program graduated seven high school seniors; and all of them committed to attending college at an official signing day event with family and friends. Three of those students are attending B-CU and volunteer in the program as mentors. The program meets on Saturdays during the school year and engages in additional enrichment activities in the community. Staff, volunteers and mentors coordinate additional engagement with parents, an instrumental component that solidifies growth in youth development. Last summer, students from grades 6-12 participated in youth mentoring exercises, tutoring and traveled for a week with their peers to various surroundings business and historical sites to explore career possibilities across Alabama.
