Triplets Kimberly, Michelle and Cianel Palmer (pictured left to right) share more than most sisters. The three Saint Joseph's students share friends, have been roommates for 22 years and each will graduate with a business degree from the University on May 10. "But we won’t share clothes," stipulates Cianel. "We draw the line there."
Their birth order is indicative of the personalities: "I was born first and am considered the mature one," says Michelle. "I came out last and I'm the most out-going and social," says Cianel. "And I'm the 'middle child,' describes Kimberly, who perceives herself as a balance between the two.
Marketing majors Cianel and Kimberly and pharmaceutical marketing major Michelle all participated in the cooperative education program at Saint Joseph's. "Co-op was a great opportunity to get real-world experience before graduating," says Michelle of her participation. The triplets have also volunteered for a number of service organizations through Saint Joseph's. As for the future, Cianel would like to pursue a career in event planning; Kimberly is interested in entertainment marketing; and Michelle would like explore the field of pharmaceutical market research.
