Recognizing Our Veterans
Veterans Day Ceremony
In honor of Veterans Day, on November 11, 2025, Brightpoint will be holding a ceremony from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at our Chester Campus for veterans, military-affiliated students, faculty staff, and community members.

Together, we will honor the service and sacrifice of veterans, spouses, and dependents, and express our deepest gratitude to those who have given so much.
The ceremony will take place in the Nicholas Center, N102A and will be followed by a light reception.
The event is free and open to the community.
In addition to the Veterans Day Ceremony, the college will be recognizing our military community with three events exclusively for students, dependents, faculty, and staff.
Make Your Monday Matter
Make Your Monday Matter is a volunteering opportunity for students, faculty, and staff.

The volunteer event will occur on Monday, November 10.
