MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State Athletics, in partnership with the Ball State Office of Community Engagement and the Muncie P3 Academic Enrichment Program, will pilot a fun and educational reading program this fall – Charlie’s Reading Challenge! The mission of the reading initiative is to provide a turnkey rubric for schools to increase reading acumen, introduce young readers to Ball State University and the athletics program and further institutional relations with the community.
“Ball State student-athletes and coaches have been great ambassadors to schools in and around Muncie for many years,” noted Ball State Director of Athletics, Mark Sandy.
