古巴移民的孙子亚历山大·兰开斯特（Alexander Lancaster）说，他很早就知道，在需要帮助的时候，社区的支持很重要，所以他把社区服务作为自己大学职责的一个组成部分。

“Community engagement empowers students to make a difference in their local and broader communities, while also learning valuable skills that will aid them in their academic and professional lives,” Lancaster said.

“Professor Lancaster has provided me the opportunity to give back to a community that I initially overlooked,” Whitfield wrote in a nomination letter. “I am a better leader, student and member of society because of him.”
With Lancaster’s guidance, Whitfield also conducted research on the online communication methods used by right-wing social groups. 他的报告在第106届全国通信协会大会上被接受。

The team 最近提出了 the Lt. Gov.’s Office with the results of a study on perceptions of voting systems in Utah.
