Alexander Lancaster
Weber State University’s Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) has honored Alexander Lancaster with the John A. Lindquist Award for 2022 for his research, commitment to the community and dedication to students. An associate professor in the Department of Communication, Lancaster directs the interpersonal and small-group communication courses. In collaboration with CCEL, students in those courses provide more than 5,600 hours of service each semester, helping community members experiencing a variety of social and access issues, including homelessness, food insecurity and the need for after-school childcare. In addition to his teaching, Lancaster is completing his fourth year as the faculty co-advisor to Weber State’s Social Issues Team, which offers undergraduate students the opportunity to conduct original research based on community partner needs.
