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.

Honored Brow is a local, non-profit, start-up business that specializes in brow lamination and lash lifts with tinting services. The business is founded and operated by four students enrolled in Arizona State University, Barrett, The Honors College. Honored Brow’s mission, through the thesis project, is to connect and provide brow and lash services to enhance natural beauty and empower women. To positively impact the community, Honored Brow is partnering with Dress for Success Phoenix, a nonprofit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools needed to help them thrive in work and in life. All proceeds raised will be donated to Dress for Success Phoenix to help them in their endeavors. Honored Brow’s target market is Arizona State University sorority members within the Greek Leadership Village, but services will be available to anyone who seeks lamination or lift services. The company exhibits a competitive advantage because the products and services extended are highly rated and certified while still being offered at an affordable price for their target market. The focus is not on making the most revenue per service, but rather on creating relationships and retaining clientele by helping make women feel good about themselves. Honored Brow’s marketing channels include an Instagram page that will feature completed services and testimonials, the Honored Brow website to schedule a service, presentations at sorority chapters, and tabling at the Greek Leadership Village to promote the business. Vista Del Sol will be used to perform the services. The thesis team has a diversified skill set and is well-positioned to succeed in the business endeavor. Two team members certified in brow lamination, lash lift, and tinting will perform the service. One team member will keep track of finances, while the other team member will oversee the website development and scheduling. The team sees great potential in the project as one of the team members has previously run an eyelash company and all proceeds will go toward a great cause.

Could you imagine a world without hot sauce? Unfortunately, hot sauce is a relatively new invention, and some people have had to experience and live without the wonders and flavors it provides. RAJAJE Sauce is a veteran-owned and family-operated start-up. RAJAJE Sauce originated in the heart of Mexico, known as Mexico City, where Javier and his family enjoy it with countless servings of tacos. His mother always dreamed of bringing this hot sauce to the market, but we weren’t sure how to go about it. There were so many questions. Was there a market for this hot sauce? Do other people like the hot sauce? Who would be our audience? How would we go about marketing this product, and how would the logistics of something like this work? Through extensive research, we found that there is plenty of room for the hot sauce industry to grow, giving RAJAJE Sauce plenty of opportunities to make a name for itself and become a household name with each new customer.
