She also served as a Representative in the SEC Equity and Inclusion Committee as well as the SEC Leadership Council and as a representative in the National Society of Leadership and Success. White was one of five student-athletes who served on Auburn Athletics' Advisory Task Force on Inclusion and Race Relations during the Summer of 2021.
