In this issue of Compass,
we celebrate Armstrong’s 75th
anniversary. Inside you’ll find
stories of successful alumni and
current students. Alva Lines is a
member of the first graduating
class of 1937. The Dickey
family has three generations of
Armstrong alumni, including
two siblings currently enrolled.
Alumni, faculty and staff provide
some personal perspectives on
what Armstrong means to them.

Today, as we struggle with our own budget challenges, I look back at what
our founders accomplished and find in their actions not only inspiration, but
absolute certainty that we have an abundance of reasons to celebrate and to
look to an ever brighter future.
Recent good news stories include the record $700,000 raised by our annual

for our new Student Union. A new residence hall is not far behind—we
will open it to this fall’s freshman class. These two new facilities will greatly

Happy 75th Anniversary AASU
What does AASU’s 75th anniversary mean to you? We posed that question and a few others related to the anniversary to
a handful of folks, including a distinguished alumnus, a long-time faculty member, an administrator who has seen it all
during his 26 years at Armstrong and the president of the Student Government Association. We wanted to know the role
that AASU has played in their lives. Here’s what they told us.

enior leadership is a key component in college athletics. When softball player Nicole Huddleston entered the
2010 season for the Pirates as the lone senior on the squad, she knew she would face a big responsibility to help
mentor her young teammates through the season.
A native of Rossville, Ga., Huddleston has embraced that role and ranks among the top home
run hitters in AASU softball history. As a freshman, she had an outstanding debut, hitting .306
with a team-high eight home runs and 29 RBI.
As a sophomore she had to battle through her own bit of adversity. Just 15 games into the
season, she suffered a season-ending knee injury. But she made a decision to remain involved.
As a junior, after overcoming her injury, she hit .328 with six home runs and 36 RBI, earning
first-team All-Peach Belt Conference and second-team National Fastball Coaches Association
All-Southeast Region honors. She was named to the preseason All-Conference team in February.
She understands her role as a team leader.
“You don’t have to be the boss, but you do have to guide the younger players,” she said.
“You have to learn to pick and choose how to say things.”
Which leads directly into her plans for the future. A health science major with a 3.0 GPA,
Huddleston graduated in May with her bachelor’s and wants to pursue her master’s in education,
teach elementary school students and coach softball.
She had a small taste of that in February when she and four other players volunteered at East Broad Elementary School
as a part of the AASU Alumni Association’s monthly “Read Aloud” program.
She is clearly excited about her future.

van Sopin played guitar in a rock band in his hometown of Syktyvkar, Russia and even released a demo album.
But since arriving in the United States and enrolling at AASU in 2005, he has focused on computer science,
completing his bachelor’s in 2008 before enrolling in the master’s program, which he finished in May 2010.
At AASU he co-authored nine research papers with Felix Hamza-Lup, professor of
computer science. The papers involved Hamza-Lup’s projects like 3DRTT (3D Radiation Therapy
Treatment) and Neuro Pathways. 3DRTT is a recently patented graphical simulation web-based
tool that aids physicians and medical personnel using linear accelerators to apply radiation
therapy. Neuro Pathways is a collaborative project with the Mercer University School of
Medicine to help medical students visualize and better understand the human nervous system.
“Computer science requires you to be a constant learner,” said Sopin. “In some fields, like
art, if you’re talented you can take it easy, do your thing and probably succeed. I don’t think
computer science is one of those fields,” he said.
Sopin, who is employed by a software development company in Savannah, also provided
leadership to AASU computer science students through Hamza-Lup’s Network-Enabled
WorkSpaces (NEWS) laboratory.
“I’m pretty thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had here,” he said. “Who knows what I
would be doing without all the research I’ve been involved with.”
