Engel attended Bethany from 1990 to 1994 as an international
economics major. Later, in 1995, she acquired her Slovene Language
Proficiency Certificate from the University of Ljubljana before beginning
her career in the retail services group at PNC Bank. In 1998, Engel
joined Mellon Bank serving as an associate relationship manager in the
international financial institutions group. During her time at PNC
and Mellon, Engel attended the University of Pittsburgh Joseph M. Katz
Graduate School of Business where she received her MBA in
1999.
The Darline Nicholson May Morning Breakfast began in 1947 as the
May Morning Breakfast, which was an event intended to bring female faculty
members and senior women together to honor the soon-to-be graduates. The
Panhellenic Council assumed sponsorship of the breakfast during the 1960s
and the event was expanded to include all female Bethany College students,
faculty and staff along with invited guests. In the early 1970s a fashion
show was added as part of the festivities. The May Morning Breakfast was
renamed the Darline Nicholson May Morning Breakfast in 2000.
