The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Event Aggregation of automotive Motorsports in conjunction with High Fashion (COVID-19 Edition)

The automotive community is incredibly vast and expansive in the southwest corner of the United States. In the Phoenix area, there is a large distinction of “car culture” within the fundamental parameters that define society in general: the upper echelon of the wealth bracket usually engages with their own, and the byproduct is that their automotive tastes lie often in the luxury exotic supercar market. Example vehicle manufacturers include Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari, and Lamborghini. In the mid to lower wealth bracket a similar model is observed, members often only engage with their own, and again the automotive byproduct is a representation of such, with example manufacturers including Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and Subaru. This stark distinction of classes begs the question: how would these unique class distinctions fare when both these groups are paired together from an automotive perspective, and what are the potential implications of this unique aggregation with high fashion?

After having worked in the legal field for two years, I began to notice a pattern with clients. Several clients had an unrealistic view of the court system regarding trial proceedings. Oftentimes, I would come across clients that were perplexed by the idea of disclosing witnesses and exhibits to the opposing party before trial. They seemed to believe that evidence was only meant to be disclosed at the time of trial, so as to surprise the opposing side. This is just one of the many distorted ideas that several people have come to me with. I can see that clients feel upset and overwhelmed by how the reality of court differs from the court that they had been imagining. These patterns in client questions and realizations began my thinking of how to better raise awareness to Americans regarding realistic dealings in the courtroom. My desire to find a means to help people unfamiliar with the legal system better understand the rules of the court, paired with my love for card games, led me to create Judge and Jury, a card game about the legal system. Judge and Jury is a game that is meant to simplify concepts of the legal system through playing cards. Each rule in the game corresponds with real-life court rules and is meant to allow people to play out "court trials' through each round of the game. The correlations between the game rules and real-life court rules are subtle to keep players engaged and entertained. The subtleness allows players to grasp legal concepts without feeling overwhelmed. Game Website: https://judgeandjurygame.weebly.com/

Food is one of the most universal and uniting human experiences. It is a powerful tool to bring communities together and it is a simple way to bring joy to an individual. This project is an exercise in marketing and entrepreneurship that was inspired by these ideas, which culminated in a fundraiser bake sale to benefit Creighton Community Foundation, a local nonprofit.
