Heidi Hatteberg, an AE senior who has been accepted into AE's Graduate School, has been named a Scholar Athlete of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Conference for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Heidi is the school record holder in three different events and qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.  Hatteberg served as the Yellow Jackets' captain in 2011-12, received the team's Tommy Towles Scholar Athlete Award and was awarded the ACC's Postgraduate Scholarship.

The AE School lost a great teacher and colleague with the passing of Professor William T. Mikolowsky on Tuesday, July 24, 2012.  As the Professor of the Practice, he touched the lives of many generations of our undergraduate students through his Capstone Senior Design sequence, Intro to AE, and Vehicle Performance classes.  His lectures were peppered with inspiring examples from his distinguished career at Lockheed Martin as the Chief Engineer for the C-130J program.
