Be Part of the Homecoming Experience
B-CU Homecoming is more than a week of events. It is a gathering of Wildcats from across generations, bringing together students, alumni, families, community members, and friends of Bethune-Cookman University.
Our vendors help make that experience even stronger by bringing food, products, services, creativity, and entrepreneurship into the celebration. We invite businesses and entrepreneurs to join us on campus, introduce your brand to the Wildcat community, and become part of one of B-CU's most anticipated traditions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Homecoming.
