Peggy Hart Lofland, her parents, several siblings, a couple of in-laws and now her daughter have all made UTA their university of choice.

Siblings

Engineered for success
Katie Helmberger, the youngest of 13 children, will soon join four of her brothers as UTA civil engineering graduates.

Six degrees of education

Karen King Borta, the first of four siblings to attend UTA, anchors nightly newscasts on KTVT Channel 11, the Dallas-Fort Worth area's CBS affiliate.
