Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. 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.

In this creative project, I explore the effects of Founder's Syndrome and use my own experience as a co-founder of a student organization to determine effective practices for ensuring the sustainability of the organization. I conducted a literature review of other sources related to Founder's Syndrome and used their results to guide my decisions, and then later reviewed the effectiveness of those practices. For the final product, I created a website that can be passed down among future generations of leaders with important information regarding the organization and operations. I presented this website, as well as my research and findings in a presentation for my defense.
