ABINGTON, Pa. — Siblings Jaime and Cayla Burkhart attended Penn State Abington together, but they took markedly different paths while earning their degrees. The pair will cap off their college careers together when they graduate on May 9.
Jamie, a year older than Cayla, will earn a degree in accounting, and he will begin his career this summer at the global financial services firm SEI Investments. He pitched for the campus' NCAA Division III baseball team.
