As editorial columnists for the Daily Texan, he writes opinion pieces on local political, civil rights and environmental issues, circulating in over 25,000 printed copies. Through an undergraduate research apprenticeship, Charlie worked with Professor Laurie Green, Fellow at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, where he contributed archival research to the first study of campaigns in the U.S. against hunger malnutrition and infant mortality. In 2009 he studied World War II in Europe as a Normandy Scholar. In the following two semesters he volunteered as a Business Development committee member of the LIVESTRONG Texas 4000, the longest annual charity bike ride in the world, and cycled from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK in the summer of 2010.
