The Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) School of Radiography held its graduation ceremony on August 19 at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Jeanne Capra, MHA, RT, program director, BRMC School of Radiography, served as master of ceremonies and Brett Sorg, AAS, RT, radiology clinical instructor at Penn-Highlands Elk, offered remarks to the graduates.
The graduating class of 2025 was presented diplomas by Alixandra Coon, BS, RT, clinical coordinator, and Mark Welch, MD, medical advisor. The graduating class of 2025 consisted of three graduates which included Brookelyn Garvey, Conneaut Lake, PA; Isabella Johnson, Bradford, PA; and Camryn Mellquist, Johnsonburg, PA.
All of the graduates earned a bachelor’s degree in radiological science from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
“As a 1984 graduate of the school, I have had the privilege to work with many classes over the years. The class of 2025 has been excellent, both clinically and academically,” Capra said. “Since joining the program, these students have faced many challenges related to several technological advances. Now, as graduates, I can say without hesitation that they are more than prepared to succeed in any healthcare environment.”
During the ceremony, students received scholarships that were funded by a generous anonymous donor. Graduates Mellquist and Garvey were awarded the Clinical Excellence Award and New Professional Award, respectively. An incoming senior in the program, Gyasi Priester, received the Academic Achievement Scholarship. Each award winner received $500.
