Alumni Updates March 27 – April 2, 2017

Silliman alumna Engr. Elizabeth Merto Engle has been named as one of the three recipients of the Women of Distinction Award by the Girl Scouts Farthest North Council of Fairbanks, Alaska.   The ceremony will be held on May 4, 2017, 6pm, at the Westmark Gold Room.  The other two awardees are Becky Zaverl and Michelle Katz Bartlett.

The Women of Distinction Award is to honor women who are positive role models for young girls and have made highly visible as well as silent contributions to the Fairbanks community.  

It is also an annual fundraiser presented in partnership with British Petroleum. Funds from previous events have helped hundreds of girls to enjoy the fun of Girl Scouts in troops and at camp, from all around the state.

Engr. Engle earned her High School in 1958 and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree in 1963 at Silliman University. Last August 28, 2016 she received the Outstanding Sillimanian Award in the field of Engineering: Project Management.
