Shaping Students and Strengthening Communities<\/span><\/h3>\n

For Charles Schackow, education isn\u2019t just about academic growth, it\u2019s about helping students discover their passions and become productive, empowered citizens. The LaGrange, Indiana native and incoming Ball State student is majoring in Social Studies Education, with the goal of inspiring future generations in and beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile teaching academics is a goal, helping create productive citizens in society is my mission,\u201d Charles explains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Charles is a recipient of the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, a competitive, renewable scholarship that awards up to $10,000 each year for four academic years to high-achieving students who commit to teaching in Indiana for five years after graduation. With this support, Charles is ready to pursue his mission of guiding students toward bright futures.<\/p>\n

\"\"A Leader On and Off the Field<\/span><\/h3>\n

Charles brings a strong background in teamwork and leadership to his future role as an educator. In high school, he participated in football, basketball, track and field, and golf, serving as team captain in football and basketball during his upperclassman years. His involvement didn\u2019t stop at athletics, he was also a member of National Honor Society, Student Council, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, experiences that helped him grow as a well-rounded and service-minded leader.<\/p>\n

Choosing a Community of Educators<\/span><\/h3>\n

When it came time to choose a university, Ball State stood out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose Ball State because of the excellent Teachers College and the community I will be surrounded by,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are so many opportunities to learn and build connections with great people.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As he looks ahead to the fall semester, Charles is most excited to meet new people and explore new opportunities on campus.<\/p>\n

\"\"Family, Fun, and a Twin Twist<\/span><\/h3>\n

When he\u2019s not studying or preparing to lead a classroom, Charles enjoys playing sports and spending time with his friends and family. And in a fun twist he won\u2019t be the only Schackow on campus. \u201cI have a twin sister who is also attending Ball State,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n

Preparing to Lead with Purpose<\/span><\/h3>\n

With a clear sense of purpose and a heart for mentorship, Charles is stepping confidently into his future as an educator. We\u2019re proud to welcome him and can\u2019t wait to see the impact he\u2019ll make in Indiana schools.<\/p>\n
