RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – Brightpoint Community College is holding its commencement ceremony on Friday afternoon, which will celebrate students and their academic milestones.
Among this group are 12 students who will become the first class to graduate from a new program training future radiologic technologists.

“I always knew that I wanted to help people and give back to the community,” she said. “We learn a lot about anatomy, a lot about X-ray physics.
