Summary
University of Utah Continuing Education / Osher Lifelong Learning instructor biography for James B. Mayfield, describing his University of Utah career and cofounder role at CHOICE Humanitarian.
Useful Claims
- Mayfield is described as professor emeritus after teaching at the University of Utah for nearly forty years, with specialization in rural development and world poverty.
- The page states: "As the cofounder of Choice Humanitarian, James has led expeditioners on two- to three-week trips into Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Egypt, Kenya, India, and Nepal."
- This is the university's biography of an affiliated instructor, not CHOICE's own program page.
Verbatim
"James B. Mayfield is presently a professor emeritus, having taught at the University of Utah for nearly forty years." — Instructor bio opening
"As the cofounder of Choice Humanitarian, James has led expeditioners on two- to three-week trips into Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Egypt, Kenya, India, and Nepal." — Instructor bio
Reliability Notes
Official .edu page about a faculty emeritus — secondary to CHOICE's own site for program model
details, but stronger than unattributed lead-file prose for Mayfield's University of Utah tie and
cofounder claim. Country list on this page (nine named) differs from the homepage's "seven countries"
— both are self-reported through different speakers and are not reconciled here.
