00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:05.110
We can stop as well.

2
00:00:06.829 --> 00:00:06.840
Oh

3
00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:07.489
wait

4
00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:08.148
Maybe

5
00:00:09.350 --> 00:00:09.520
OK,

6
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.000

00:00:16.819 --> 00:00:17.120
Doug,

00:00:26.149 --> 00:00:28.450
Barrett's history in honor of our 30th anniversary.

17
00:00:28.829 --> 00:00:32.049

It is November 2nd at 4:22 p.m. in Vista Del Sol Community Center.

19
00:00:38.389 --> 00:00:38.400
Um,

00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:38.750
um,

21
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:39.959
Doug,

00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:41.569
we're gonna start with you for your introduction.

23
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.099
Sure,

24
00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:42.389
uh,

25
00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:43.680
my name is Doug Rice.

26
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.560
I was in Barrett from

27
00:00:45.849 --> 00:00:48.150
2008 to 2012,

28
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:49.540
and I'm now,

29
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:50.130
uh,

30
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.759
back at ASU as a grad student in environmental engineering.

31
00:00:55.529 --> 00:00:55.770
Hi everyone,

32
00:00:55.849 --> 00:00:56.970
my name is Ishini Choksi,

33
00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:59.770
and I'm a senior studying economics and business law at Barrett,

34
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:00.049
um,

35
00:01:00.209 --> 00:01:01.330
so I'm currently a student.

36
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:03.189
Hi everyone,

37
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:04.430
my name is Abby Baralla.

38
00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:07.430
I was a student at Barrett from 2014 to 2018,

39
00:01:07.550 --> 00:01:09.449
so I just graduated this past May.

40
00:01:09.709 --> 00:01:09.830
Um,

41
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:11.470
I'm now a Teach for America Corps member

42
00:01:11.470 --> 00:01:13.459
teaching sixth grade English language arts in Denver,

43
00:01:13.550 --> 00:01:14.110
Colorado.

44
00:01:14.709 --> 00:01:15.169
Very cool.

45
00:01:15.709 --> 00:01:15.910
Uh,

46
00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:18.099
my name is Ivy Bonele Gervis,

47
00:01:18.190 --> 00:01:23.180
and I was in the university honors program from 1992 to 1996,

48
00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:25.870
and I am actually the founding,

49
00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:26.379
uh,

50
00:01:26.389 --> 00:01:30.529
member of the Barrett Honors or Devils or just Honors Devils at the time.

51
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.279
And I now work for ASU

52
00:01:33.839 --> 00:01:34.500
and I am,

53
00:01:34.669 --> 00:01:34.900
uh,

54
00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:36.580
in the school of sustainability.

55
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.300
It's tough to follow that one up.

56
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:39.129
Uh,

57
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:40.459
my name is Christopher Schwartz,

58
00:01:40.470 --> 00:01:44.029
and I was in the honors college from 2009 to 2011,

59
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:44.739
I believe,

60
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:45.639
and,

61
00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:45.790
uh,

62
00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:48.580
I'm now a doctoral student back at ASU studying archaeology.

63
00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:50.180
Awesome,

64
00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:50.569
um,

65
00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:52.540
so you kind of briefed us about this,

66
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:52.879
but,

67
00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:53.089
um,

68
00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:55.209
if you could describe your affiliation with Barrett,

69
00:01:55.220 --> 00:01:55.419
um.

70
00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:57.080
Do so if you

71
00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:58.500
There?

72
00:02:00.430 --> 00:02:00.669
All right,

73
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:01.040
I'll,

74
00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:01.349
uh,

75
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:01.860
start again.

76
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:02.589
Uh,

77
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.300
I joined honors Doubs the spring of my freshman year

78
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:08.419
and

79
00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:10.038
I participated in it,

80
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.580
uh,

81
00:02:10.589 --> 00:02:11.520
until I graduated.

82
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:13.440
Um,

83
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.860
I joined honors levels,

84
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:15.279
the,

85
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.470
uh,

86
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.119
my sophomore year,

87
00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:18.220
the fall semester of my sophomore year of college,

88
00:02:18.279 --> 00:02:18.639
and,

89
00:02:18.669 --> 00:02:18.869
um,

90
00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:19.360
as a senior,

91
00:02:19.399 --> 00:02:19.720
I'm

92
00:02:21.449 --> 00:02:21.610
Um,

93
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:24.279
I joined the honors levels fall of my sophomore year,

94
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:24.679
um,

95
00:02:24.690 --> 00:02:26.619
and was in the club for 3 years.

96
00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:29.119
I was one of the co-presidents my junior year

97
00:02:29.119 --> 00:02:30.580
and then the events coordinator my senior year.

98
00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:34.979
And when I started ASU as a freshman,

99
00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:39.199
I noticed that we had a lot of recruitment type events and we had a lot of students who

100
00:02:39.779 --> 00:02:42.679
were coming to campus specifically because they wanted to tour

101
00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:45.279
the Honors College and they wanted to learn more about our programs.

102
00:02:45.339 --> 00:02:47.580
We had people requesting overnight stays and

103
00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:49.660
they wanted to visit classrooms and things like that.

104
00:02:49.820 --> 00:02:50.169
So,

105
00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:51.990
We saw the need to

106
00:02:52.190 --> 00:02:55.830
create an organization that would help with that and that would,

107
00:02:55.869 --> 00:02:56.449
um,

108
00:02:56.910 --> 00:02:59.729
set up these agendas and things like that and basically

109
00:02:59.949 --> 00:03:02.850
just act as a recruiting organization for

110
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:05.110
the honors college in a way that

111
00:03:05.350 --> 00:03:07.630
other organizations were recruiting for the university.

112
00:03:07.869 --> 00:03:08.389
So

113
00:03:08.830 --> 00:03:10.229
I got together a bunch of friends,

114
00:03:10.350 --> 00:03:13.529
we had a big meeting in the common room and

115
00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:15.949
we collected information from people who are interested

116
00:03:15.949 --> 00:03:17.229
in that's how it all got started.

117
00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:20.440
And I joined Honors Devils my

118
00:03:20.660 --> 00:03:21.380
2nd semester,

119
00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:22.220
my junior year,

120
00:03:22.289 --> 00:03:22.839
I believe,

121
00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:23.669
um.

122
00:03:24.559 --> 00:03:26.619
And what was the other part of the question?

123
00:03:27.649 --> 00:03:28.729
Is there a second part of that question?

124
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:29.610
Oh,

125
00:03:30.110 --> 00:03:30.789
well then that's what I did.

126
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:31.490
So,

127
00:03:32.309 --> 00:03:35.789
what attracted um you all to um join the Arms College?

128
00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:39.639
I can actually start with that,

129
00:03:39.660 --> 00:03:40.330
um.

130
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.270
At the time,

131
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.190
ASU and the honors college at ASU were sort of very scrappy underdogs,

132
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:47.750
um,

133
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.369
to what was going on at the UFA

134
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.580
and I really liked that about the program that

135
00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.279
um there was a lot of excite.

136
00:03:56.475 --> 00:03:57.414
Exciting stuff going on.

137
00:03:57.464 --> 00:03:58.154
It was growing,

138
00:03:58.264 --> 00:03:59.845
there was an opportunity to

139
00:04:00.264 --> 00:04:04.445
really create something as a foundation that could be built upon in the future.

140
00:04:04.755 --> 00:04:07.535
And so when I decided I was going to stay in state,

141
00:04:07.585 --> 00:04:07.744
for me,

142
00:04:07.785 --> 00:04:11.764
it was really a natural decision to come to ASU and to join the honors college.

143
00:04:12.490 --> 00:04:14.029
I can follow that one up actually.

144
00:04:14.330 --> 00:04:16.070
I was supposed to be,

145
00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:16.548
um,

146
00:04:16.559 --> 00:04:18.170
a freshman at the University of Arizona,

147
00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:18.829
and I got

148
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.670
pulled to ASU at the very last second,

149
00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:21.369
um,

150
00:04:21.428 --> 00:04:22.149
largely

151
00:04:22.329 --> 00:04:23.209
by my parents,

152
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:23.660
um,

153
00:04:23.690 --> 00:04:26.529
who wanted me to go to Arizona State and for a long time,

154
00:04:26.570 --> 00:04:28.290
I think until probably I joined the Honors College,

155
00:04:28.369 --> 00:04:29.510
I really struggled to find a home,

156
00:04:30.070 --> 00:04:30.239
um,

157
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:31.829
at ASU and didn't really have

158
00:04:32.010 --> 00:04:32.809
a close network,

159
00:04:32.929 --> 00:04:35.109
didn't have a lot of friends that I was really tight with,

160
00:04:35.369 --> 00:04:35.640
um,

161
00:04:35.730 --> 00:04:37.959
and most of my friends had gone on to the University of Arizona,

162
00:04:38.049 --> 00:04:38.440
so.

163
00:04:38.790 --> 00:04:39.480
Um,

164
00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:41.390
and once I joined the honors college,

165
00:04:41.429 --> 00:04:41.790
that kind of,

166
00:04:41.950 --> 00:04:42.869
things kind of turned around for me.

167
00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:44.109
I kind of found a home and,

168
00:04:44.390 --> 00:04:44.910
um,

169
00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:45.459
you know,

170
00:04:45.769 --> 00:04:46.709
like-minded friends,

171
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:47.019
and,

172
00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:47.420
uh,

173
00:04:47.649 --> 00:04:48.850
also became a community assistant

174
00:04:49.190 --> 00:04:49.910
in the honors college,

175
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:50.230
and that,

176
00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:51.040
that had a big role in it,

177
00:04:51.109 --> 00:04:53.029
and then joining the Honors Devils was kind of the,

178
00:04:53.510 --> 00:04:53.630
you know,

179
00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:54.299
icing on the cake.

180
00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:54.829
It was a good,

181
00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:55.589
really good fit.

182
00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:58.600
I can go.

183
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.109
Um,

184
00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:00.359
I'm from Denver,

185
00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:01.119
Colorado originally,

186
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.920
and I desperately wanted to stay in Colorado for college,

187
00:05:04.260 --> 00:05:04.570
um,

188
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.279
and I had been convinced to come and visit Barrett because I had gotten a

189
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.640
letter from them saying they would pay for my plane tickets to come and visit,

190
00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:11.119
so my parents said,

191
00:05:13.059 --> 00:05:13.149
um,

192
00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:14.839
but when I came and did my visit day,

193
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.829
I completely changed my mind about what I wanted to

194
00:05:16.829 --> 00:05:18.959
do for college because when I came I loved the.

195
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:19.429
Campus,

196
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.100
but I was hugely impressed by the community atmosphere in Barrett because

197
00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:24.959
when I got to do an overnight stay with a

198
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.799
student and like actually talk to the students here,

199
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.959
I was so impressed that everyone was so

200
00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:31.799
focused on school and like wanted to be committed and scholarly but

201
00:05:31.799 --> 00:05:34.920
in a really caring and compassionate way where people were supportive of

202
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.799
each other and not acting hyper competitive and it was just the

203
00:05:37.799 --> 00:05:40.079
community environment that really seemed like the right fit for me.

204
00:05:41.429 --> 00:05:41.549
Yeah,

205
00:05:41.670 --> 00:05:42.869
definitely to kind of build off of that.

206
00:05:42.950 --> 00:05:43.100
Um,

207
00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:44.500
my older brother went to Barrett,

208
00:05:44.510 --> 00:05:47.299
and so I know I'd always visit him when I was in high school and middle school,

209
00:05:47.309 --> 00:05:47.579
and

210
00:05:47.739 --> 00:05:50.630
I would visit him in Sirius and I would go to the dining hall with him and

211
00:05:50.630 --> 00:05:52.429
it was my favorite thing and honors hall was

212
00:05:52.429 --> 00:05:54.170
honestly the coolest place I'd ever thought of.

213
00:05:54.429 --> 00:05:55.540
They had a ping pong table,

214
00:05:55.549 --> 00:05:56.429
like that's awesome.

215
00:05:56.829 --> 00:05:56.920
Um,

216
00:05:57.829 --> 00:06:00.140
and so kind of seeing that and realizing that I didn't,

217
00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:01.609
I never toured another school,

218
00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:01.899
um,

219
00:06:02.029 --> 00:06:03.149
so I guess being a tour guide,

220
00:06:03.190 --> 00:06:05.920
it's kind of hard to relate because I've never been on a college tour,

221
00:06:06.149 --> 00:06:07.989
but I knew from day one that there is what I

222
00:06:07.989 --> 00:06:10.390
wanted and I never had to really look anywhere else.

223
00:06:11.929 --> 00:06:14.100
In some ways echoing uh

224
00:06:14.649 --> 00:06:15.200
the last,

225
00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:15.559
uh,

226
00:06:15.570 --> 00:06:17.239
or some of the things the other people said,

227
00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:17.739
but really,

228
00:06:17.809 --> 00:06:18.230
uh,

229
00:06:18.450 --> 00:06:19.690
for me when I visited Barrett,

230
00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:21.309
that was when I was won over.

231
00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:22.049
um,

232
00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:23.170
I was from Oregon,

233
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:23.769
so

234
00:06:24.010 --> 00:06:26.649
I was thinking of going to school in Oregon or California

235
00:06:26.929 --> 00:06:29.119
and my mom made me go visit ASU.

236
00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:32.899
I think she did because I loved it,

237
00:06:32.910 --> 00:06:33.359
um,

238
00:06:33.690 --> 00:06:34.100
and I,

239
00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:34.850
I did,

240
00:06:35.010 --> 00:06:35.910
I'd say a part of it,

241
00:06:36.010 --> 00:06:36.200
uh,

242
00:06:36.209 --> 00:06:38.049
you can't really talk about Barrett without talking about

243
00:06:38.049 --> 00:06:41.660
ASU as well and I did really like ASU,

244
00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:42.429
but

245
00:06:43.130 --> 00:06:45.049
Barrett also clearly offered

246
00:06:45.209 --> 00:06:47.250
a different experience that some of the other schools

247
00:06:47.250 --> 00:06:49.489
that I was interested in were also offering,

248
00:06:49.890 --> 00:06:50.750
so it was a nice,

249
00:06:50.809 --> 00:06:51.079
uh,

250
00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:51.929
mix of both worlds.

251
00:06:51.970 --> 00:06:53.929
I could still go to football games on Saturdays,

252
00:06:53.970 --> 00:06:54.429
but

253
00:06:54.730 --> 00:06:55.489
also have.

254
00:06:56.059 --> 00:06:56.260
You know,

255
00:06:56.380 --> 00:06:58.200
find friends who cared about

256
00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:00.529
talking about intellectual things over dinner,

257
00:07:00.709 --> 00:07:01.220
which

258
00:07:01.489 --> 00:07:03.859
it could be a little harder to find in some of the other dining halls,

259
00:07:03.940 --> 00:07:04.260
so it was,

260
00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:05.470
it was a really nice mix.

261
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:07.250
Um,

262
00:07:07.369 --> 00:07:09.109
how would you describe Barrett's

263
00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:13.079
You guys are gonna go first on that.

264
00:07:14.630 --> 00:07:15.010
People who,

265
00:07:15.149 --> 00:07:16.450
people who have been closer.

266
00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:23.309
I think

267
00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:25.230
um the word that just like

268
00:07:25.369 --> 00:07:28.109
comes to mind for me immediately is the idea of it being a community

269
00:07:28.299 --> 00:07:30.570
and I think it's a community in a lot of different senses.

270
00:07:30.690 --> 00:07:33.809
I was a CA as well and so I worked for housing for 3 years and

271
00:07:33.809 --> 00:07:37.450
I felt like I was really connected to the on-campus aspect of the Barrett community,

272
00:07:37.570 --> 00:07:39.450
but I think that the Barrett community also.

273
00:07:39.540 --> 00:07:42.160
Goes so far beyond that because even when you talk to

274
00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.619
Barrett students who live off campus or who are on another ASU campus,

275
00:07:45.700 --> 00:07:46.839
there's still that sense of like oh

276
00:07:47.179 --> 00:07:47.619
you're Barrett,

277
00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:50.380
we're this Barrett family like it's all one big community so I

278
00:07:50.380 --> 00:07:52.859
think like the word community is a big and broad description,

279
00:07:52.899 --> 00:07:55.359
but I think it really applies to the Barrett experience.

280
00:07:56.670 --> 00:07:57.640
You said experience too,

281
00:07:57.679 --> 00:07:59.750
and I feel like a shared experience is a good,

282
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.820
it's probably a good way to describe it,

283
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:02.320
um,

284
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.320
and just to echo some of the things Doug said,

285
00:08:04.359 --> 00:08:04.480
you know,

286
00:08:04.589 --> 00:08:06.369
being able to sit and have a conversation about,

287
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:06.880
you know,

288
00:08:06.989 --> 00:08:08.720
16th century Russian poets

289
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.540
while you're

290
00:08:09.880 --> 00:08:12.200
having dinner is kind of a fun and something you

291
00:08:12.200 --> 00:08:14.119
might not be able to find other places on campus,

292
00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:16.019
and I think that comes from a shared experience,

293
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:16.859
um,

294
00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:18.640
and taking classes together that

295
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.959
are on topics that are broad and,

296
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.200
and intellectually stimulating,

297
00:08:22.320 --> 00:08:22.519
so.

298
00:08:23.450 --> 00:08:26.190
I think one of the things they've successfully done is

299
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:29.760
through all iterations of what the honors college has been,

300
00:08:29.809 --> 00:08:31.230
there's always been the human event,

301
00:08:31.809 --> 00:08:33.150
and it has

302
00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:33.890
changed,

303
00:08:34.010 --> 00:08:35.919
you have different perspectives on it and everything,

304
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.270
but that experience of taking that class,

305
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.150
it sticks with you,

306
00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:40.929
and,

307
00:08:41.169 --> 00:08:41.289
you know,

308
00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:43.690
I still have my books from Human event.

309
00:08:45.020 --> 00:08:45.150
I do too,

310
00:08:46.169 --> 00:08:46.669
you know,

311
00:08:46.979 --> 00:08:47.659
and,

312
00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:48.140
um,

313
00:08:48.219 --> 00:08:50.250
and every actually everybody I know who was in the

314
00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:53.119
honors programs like college still has their human event books,

315
00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:53.940
um,

316
00:08:54.140 --> 00:08:54.799
and

317
00:08:55.140 --> 00:08:59.059
it creates like that foundation that you can talk about like you can bring these

318
00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:02.840
things out and you know that everybody has a certain level of experience with,

319
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:04.020
um,

320
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:04.260
you know,

321
00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:07.080
the Odyssey or with philosophy or different things

322
00:09:07.380 --> 00:09:10.659
and so there's that sort of jumping off point and I

323
00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:13.169
think it's a thread that kind of creates that community,

324
00:09:13.219 --> 00:09:13.780
not just.

325
00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:15.789
Among the people who are in your class,

326
00:09:15.869 --> 00:09:18.590
but everybody who's really ever gone through the program.

327
00:09:21.250 --> 00:09:22.020
Just to kind of add,

328
00:09:22.030 --> 00:09:22.369
um,

329
00:09:22.390 --> 00:09:23.109
off of the community,

330
00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:26.179
I also think supportive is one of the biggest things about Barrett,

331
00:09:26.190 --> 00:09:26.349
um,

332
00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.390
not just your peers,

333
00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:28.390
but your professors,

334
00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:29.070
the faculty,

335
00:09:29.150 --> 00:09:29.630
the staff,

336
00:09:29.750 --> 00:09:30.500
advisors,

337
00:09:30.789 --> 00:09:30.950
really,

338
00:09:30.989 --> 00:09:34.150
if you have any questions about career goals or weekend plans,

339
00:09:34.229 --> 00:09:35.760
like there's someone to talk to

340
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.229
who will definitely have an idea for you.

341
00:09:37.349 --> 00:09:38.090
So I think that's

342
00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:38.950
a really big aspect.

343
00:09:41.020 --> 00:09:41.429
Yeah,

344
00:09:41.530 --> 00:09:42.090
um,

345
00:09:43.109 --> 00:09:45.109
Chris honed in on the word experience.

346
00:09:45.190 --> 00:09:46.450
I think that's a good one too.

347
00:09:47.030 --> 00:09:47.469
Um,

348
00:09:47.989 --> 00:09:48.229
everything,

349
00:09:48.349 --> 00:09:48.510
I mean,

350
00:09:48.530 --> 00:09:49.489
it has a very,

351
00:09:49.510 --> 00:09:49.890
uh,

352
00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:51.349
physical presence on campus,

353
00:09:51.510 --> 00:09:53.369
especially now that it's absorbed Vista.

354
00:09:53.669 --> 00:09:56.460
If you told me in 2008 that all of Vista would be buried,

355
00:09:56.619 --> 00:09:57.190
I would have

356
00:09:57.630 --> 00:09:58.299
bet you that no,

357
00:09:58.349 --> 00:09:59.150
that wasn't gonna happen.

358
00:09:59.270 --> 00:09:59.520
But

359
00:09:59.869 --> 00:10:00.229
here it is.

360
00:10:00.309 --> 00:10:02.419
So there's a really big physical presence.

361
00:10:02.510 --> 00:10:03.619
You have the dining hall,

362
00:10:03.750 --> 00:10:04.059
uh,

363
00:10:04.070 --> 00:10:04.500
students,

364
00:10:04.570 --> 00:10:05.010
but

365
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:05.539
yeah,

366
00:10:05.630 --> 00:10:06.619
there is that sort of,

367
00:10:06.630 --> 00:10:07.109
uh.

368
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:09.489
The

369
00:10:09.619 --> 00:10:12.219
less physical aspect to it of

370
00:10:12.950 --> 00:10:13.309
Talking,

371
00:10:13.390 --> 00:10:14.369
meeting people,

372
00:10:14.409 --> 00:10:14.979
um,

373
00:10:15.270 --> 00:10:15.989
and also,

374
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.409
uh,

375
00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:18.229
in terms of opportunities like

376
00:10:18.369 --> 00:10:19.669
the scholarship office,

377
00:10:19.789 --> 00:10:21.849
scholarship office helped me a lot.

378
00:10:22.070 --> 00:10:22.729
Um,

379
00:10:23.390 --> 00:10:23.830
I've,

380
00:10:24.150 --> 00:10:28.210
I think that I probably got into research because of my honors project,

381
00:10:28.510 --> 00:10:29.159
um,

382
00:10:29.549 --> 00:10:29.989
and yeah,

383
00:10:30.070 --> 00:10:31.109
the human event like

384
00:10:31.549 --> 00:10:33.090
that certainly helped me grow,

385
00:10:33.190 --> 00:10:33.719
uh,

386
00:10:33.989 --> 00:10:36.890
intellectually and as a person to be exposed to some,

387
00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:37.840
uh,

388
00:10:37.849 --> 00:10:41.190
works of art that I wouldn't have otherwise maybe found on my own.

389
00:10:42.630 --> 00:10:43.280
And it's

390
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.200
it's funny that you talk about the physical presence,

391
00:10:46.219 --> 00:10:46.900
because

392
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:49.219
uh when I was in the honors college,

393
00:10:49.280 --> 00:10:49.679
it was,

394
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.140
it was McClintock Hall,

395
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.000
like that was.

396
00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:53.260
Yeah,

397
00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:55.179
and we all pretty much fit into it.

398
00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:56.320
And,

399
00:10:56.669 --> 00:10:57.080
um,

400
00:10:57.219 --> 00:10:59.179
so it was just one building around a

401
00:10:59.179 --> 00:11:02.000
central courtyard and everybody kept their doors open

402
00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:03.239
and

403
00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:05.299
the dean would sort of wander through the courtyard

404
00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:07.239
and hang out at the picnic table and,

405
00:11:07.260 --> 00:11:07.419
you know,

406
00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:08.260
we all knew,

407
00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:10.419
everybody knew everybody who lived there

408
00:11:10.869 --> 00:11:11.510
and

409
00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:13.320
I joked about how we didn't have to give

410
00:11:13.690 --> 00:11:16.369
tours of our residence hall because you could basically

411
00:11:16.369 --> 00:11:17.539
just stand in one place and be like,

412
00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:18.510
here it is.

413
00:11:19.750 --> 00:11:19.760
But,

414
00:11:22.849 --> 00:11:23.049
you know,

415
00:11:23.130 --> 00:11:27.530
even then it was sort of like that was the hub of everything we got that hall because.

416
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.280
The university was gonna tear it down anyway,

417
00:11:30.479 --> 00:11:31.200
and so they were like,

418
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:31.440
yeah,

419
00:11:31.599 --> 00:11:31.890
sure,

420
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:32.280
honors,

421
00:11:32.359 --> 00:11:32.630
take it,

422
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.099
whatever.

423
00:11:34.429 --> 00:11:35.229
And

424
00:11:35.549 --> 00:11:38.229
and it really became like the heart of the program,

425
00:11:38.270 --> 00:11:39.469
and I knew people who.

426
00:11:40.289 --> 00:11:41.530
Had gotten to the point where

427
00:11:41.729 --> 00:11:44.369
they knew that they weren't going to meet the qualifications to finish,

428
00:11:44.530 --> 00:11:46.450
but they didn't want to leave McClintock,

429
00:11:46.530 --> 00:11:47.809
so they stayed

430
00:11:48.210 --> 00:11:51.570
in the program because it was just like the best place to be.

431
00:11:52.650 --> 00:11:53.049
That's awesome.

432
00:11:55.450 --> 00:11:55.750
Um,

433
00:11:55.869 --> 00:11:57.429
besides being an honors levels,

434
00:11:57.510 --> 00:11:57.710
um,

435
00:11:57.820 --> 00:11:58.809
did you have any,

436
00:11:59.030 --> 00:11:59.280
um,

437
00:11:59.390 --> 00:12:01.380
other involvement in Barrett or,

438
00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:01.549
um,

439
00:12:01.590 --> 00:12:03.109
any special projects that you?

440
00:12:04.010 --> 00:12:04.419
You were in

441
00:12:05.150 --> 00:12:05.469
College?

442
00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:08.609
Time for everybody to talk about your thesis.

443
00:12:10.760 --> 00:12:10.770
Go.

444
00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:14.179
I mean,

445
00:12:14.219 --> 00:12:14.960
a bunch.

446
00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:15.719
Um,

447
00:12:15.859 --> 00:12:18.059
I think it sounds like you were also a community assistant.

448
00:12:18.130 --> 00:12:18.169
Yeah,

449
00:12:18.219 --> 00:12:19.190
I was a community assistant,

450
00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:19.760
um,

451
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:20.719
when the new

452
00:12:21.140 --> 00:12:22.760
honors college of the South Campus,

453
00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:24.140
honors college opened,

454
00:12:24.380 --> 00:12:25.119
I should say

455
00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:26.739
Southeast campus,

456
00:12:27.099 --> 00:12:27.250
uh,

457
00:12:27.260 --> 00:12:28.419
honors college opened.

458
00:12:28.820 --> 00:12:29.219
Um,

459
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:29.820
so that was cool.

460
00:12:30.020 --> 00:12:30.780
Did that for 3 years.

461
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.760
That was a great experience.

462
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:34.260
I was also in the community of undergraduate research scholars.

463
00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.340
I don't know if anyone else did that.

464
00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:36.359
That was a really neat.

465
00:12:36.900 --> 00:12:39.539
It was like putting together an NSF project summary and

466
00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:42.020
like really kind of honing your research a little bit,

467
00:12:42.130 --> 00:12:43.140
and it was a year-long.

468
00:12:43.669 --> 00:12:45.940
Thing where you coupled like a paid internship,

469
00:12:46.239 --> 00:12:46.440
uh,

470
00:12:46.479 --> 00:12:48.940
that you then kind of drew into an honors thesis,

471
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:49.619
um,

472
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:49.799
and,

473
00:12:49.880 --> 00:12:52.119
and also put together a research poster and all these other,

474
00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:52.830
uh,

475
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.179
things for this class that

476
00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:56.179
was all people doing interdisciplinary research,

477
00:12:56.599 --> 00:12:56.789
uh,

478
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.719
that Peggy Nelson led,

479
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.520
and that was,

480
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.979
that was a really cool experience that I think probably drove me into,

481
00:13:02.119 --> 00:13:02.700
um,

482
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.440
staying as a graduate student,

483
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:05.799
moving forward with that.

484
00:13:07.849 --> 00:13:08.229
What else?

485
00:13:08.239 --> 00:13:09.619
I'm sure you guys did a ton of things.

486
00:13:10.380 --> 00:13:11.909
I didn't do much else in

487
00:13:12.020 --> 00:13:14.299
Barrett or in the honors college,

488
00:13:14.330 --> 00:13:14.640
um,

489
00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:15.409
I pretty much,

490
00:13:15.489 --> 00:13:15.729
I mean,

491
00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:18.640
Honors Devils was kind of my full-time job while I was,

492
00:13:18.650 --> 00:13:19.010
um,

493
00:13:19.169 --> 00:13:19.750
doing it

494
00:13:20.169 --> 00:13:22.729
and then I was involved with other things on campus.

495
00:13:22.809 --> 00:13:23.969
I've been involved with START,

496
00:13:24.130 --> 00:13:24.530
for example,

497
00:13:24.609 --> 00:13:26.289
which is a student admissions relations team and

498
00:13:26.289 --> 00:13:28.090
that's kind of formed a little bit of,

499
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.429
of Honors Devils

500
00:13:29.969 --> 00:13:30.500
and,

501
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:30.729
you know,

502
00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:32.929
some other organizations and things like that,

503
00:13:33.010 --> 00:13:33.349
but.

504
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:34.369
Primarily,

505
00:13:34.450 --> 00:13:35.140
I was just,

506
00:13:35.289 --> 00:13:36.210
I was involved with research.

507
00:13:36.289 --> 00:13:37.630
I did do an honors thesis,

508
00:13:38.210 --> 00:13:38.750
um,

509
00:13:38.849 --> 00:13:41.770
that I eventually used part of for my master's thesis,

510
00:13:41.890 --> 00:13:42.309
so

511
00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:46.669
it also worked out really well for me and what I ended up doing in the future.

512
00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:48.979
Um,

513
00:13:49.099 --> 00:13:52.539
I was also a community assistant for 3 years here at Vista del Sol,

514
00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:52.820
um,

515
00:13:52.929 --> 00:13:55.530
and I was a senior community assistant for 2 of those years,

516
00:13:55.900 --> 00:13:59.419
so I was pretty heavily involved in the world of Barrett housing,

517
00:13:59.539 --> 00:13:59.820
um,

518
00:13:59.979 --> 00:14:00.679
which is

519
00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:01.859
a super exciting,

520
00:14:01.979 --> 00:14:03.059
like busy and overwhelming thing,

521
00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:05.849
but it was one of the best things that I did in college,

522
00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:06.260
um,

523
00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:07.690
and then obviously honors levels is my

524
00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:10.119
other big really big Barrett specific involvement,

525
00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:10.880
um.

526
00:14:11.349 --> 00:14:13.630
I did my honors thesis in classics,

527
00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:13.869
uh,

528
00:14:13.950 --> 00:14:15.590
which was partially because I was also very

529
00:14:15.590 --> 00:14:17.789
involved in our two classics clubs on campus,

530
00:14:17.859 --> 00:14:20.729
our Classics Honors Society and our Social Classics Club.

531
00:14:21.109 --> 00:14:21.500
Um,

532
00:14:21.590 --> 00:14:23.390
and so I got to kind of draw together my

533
00:14:23.390 --> 00:14:25.780
varied interests with my classics interest for my thesis,

534
00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:28.070
which was a really wonderful and fun experience.

535
00:14:29.599 --> 00:14:29.890
Um,

536
00:14:29.950 --> 00:14:30.849
I think all of my,

537
00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:31.150
um,

538
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.440
on campus involvements right now all relate to admissions,

539
00:14:33.479 --> 00:14:34.280
which is kind of funny.

540
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.039
So I'm actually,

541
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.340
I was part of SART for my 1st 3 years,

542
00:14:37.349 --> 00:14:37.830
and then

543
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.989
I'm also the vice president for business ambassadors,

544
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.659
which is the business school like recruitment team,

545
00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:43.030
um,

546
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.859
so I like to see prospective students all day long,

547
00:14:46.510 --> 00:14:46.590
um,

548
00:14:47.469 --> 00:14:48.080
free lunches,

549
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:48.599
yes.

550
00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:51.400
Lots of polos.

551
00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.650
Lots of polos.

552
00:14:52.739 --> 00:14:52.940
Um,

553
00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:55.820
one of my goals was to have a family come visit ASU,

554
00:14:55.859 --> 00:14:56.969
and then I would help them out with

555
00:14:56.969 --> 00:14:59.059
SART and then do a business ambassador's info session

556
00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:02.059
and then give them an honors college tour and just see them all day and say,

557
00:15:02.169 --> 00:15:02.979
if you want to see ASU,

558
00:15:03.020 --> 00:15:03.989
you gotta see me,

559
00:15:04.169 --> 00:15:04.500
um.

560
00:15:05.489 --> 00:15:05.809
But yeah,

561
00:15:05.890 --> 00:15:07.489
and then I also work on campus as a TA.

562
00:15:07.599 --> 00:15:07.609
Oh

563
00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:08.549
cool.

564
00:15:20.380 --> 00:15:20.419
Excellent.

565
00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:20.549
Um,

566
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:20.630
I'm trying to think back,

567
00:15:20.710 --> 00:15:20.719
uh,

568
00:15:20.729 --> 00:15:20.979
really I think was the main thing I was involved in.

569
00:15:21.210 --> 00:15:21.359
I did also take a number of the HON honors courses,

570
00:15:21.369 --> 00:15:22.390
and those were two of my favorite those were

571
00:15:22.390 --> 00:15:25.309
some of my favorites that really stick out was,

572
00:15:25.380 --> 00:15:26.119
uh,

573
00:15:26.130 --> 00:15:27.760
one was about life in the universe,

574
00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:28.650
like how it came to be.

575
00:15:29.469 --> 00:15:30.849
Another was

576
00:15:30.969 --> 00:15:32.960
cancer and like new treatments for cancer,

577
00:15:32.969 --> 00:15:33.330
so

578
00:15:33.650 --> 00:15:35.390
those were classes that I mean

579
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.049
you just can't take them unless you're in honors college and

580
00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:40.729
I had the opportunity to do that in a small setting

581
00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:41.609
um

582
00:15:41.770 --> 00:15:42.789
and for my thesis.

583
00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:47.469
It didn't really have anything to do with my undergrad degree,

584
00:15:47.479 --> 00:15:48.380
which was in biology.

585
00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:50.020
My thesis was in psychology.

586
00:15:50.530 --> 00:15:51.270
I'm not I'm engineering,

587
00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:52.669
so I didn't really

588
00:15:53.260 --> 00:15:54.260
relate to any of it,

589
00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:58.559
but it was a really unique experience and I learned a lot about

590
00:15:58.780 --> 00:16:01.820
a field that I wouldn't have otherwise known much about,

591
00:16:01.979 --> 00:16:02.299
so.

592
00:16:04.020 --> 00:16:06.309
So why did you all become honor stones?

593
00:16:08.099 --> 00:16:08.380
Michelle.

594
00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:12.400
You should hear I came from,

595
00:16:13.330 --> 00:16:13.570
but

596
00:16:13.809 --> 00:16:13.969
yeah,

597
00:16:14.130 --> 00:16:14.200
yeah,

598
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.760
Michelle,

599
00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:15.299
uh,

600
00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:16.320
I,

601
00:16:16.369 --> 00:16:17.169
I had a great visit.

602
00:16:17.289 --> 00:16:18.049
That was a part of it too,

603
00:16:18.150 --> 00:16:20.849
but actually it was really my visit which Michelle played a huge role in,

604
00:16:20.909 --> 00:16:21.080
but,

605
00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:21.390
uh,

606
00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:21.710
um,

607
00:16:21.719 --> 00:16:23.510
I stayed with an honors double and

608
00:16:23.729 --> 00:16:25.190
I came at the very end of the year,

609
00:16:25.489 --> 00:16:27.570
so they were actually doing their end of the year meeting and

610
00:16:27.570 --> 00:16:31.710
welcomed me as a prospective student to join them at Chili's,

611
00:16:32.010 --> 00:16:32.369
and

612
00:16:32.969 --> 00:16:33.840
it was a lot of fun,

613
00:16:33.929 --> 00:16:34.320
uh,

614
00:16:34.450 --> 00:16:35.169
so it was,

615
00:16:35.289 --> 00:16:35.880
it was pretty,

616
00:16:35.929 --> 00:16:36.330
uh,

617
00:16:36.489 --> 00:16:39.669
I wanted to get involved with something and it was a natural choice for me to

618
00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:40.539
get involved with.

619
00:16:41.570 --> 00:16:42.250
It was Sean,

620
00:16:42.369 --> 00:16:42.989
not a maker.

621
00:16:43.169 --> 00:16:44.039
That's why I did it.

622
00:16:44.250 --> 00:16:45.169
I'm sure you'll be like,

623
00:16:45.219 --> 00:16:45.619
yeah,

624
00:16:46.530 --> 00:16:48.719
Sean would give the most incredible tours,

625
00:16:48.849 --> 00:16:51.109
just like so excited to do anything.

626
00:16:51.169 --> 00:16:52.010
Michelle knows.

627
00:16:53.549 --> 00:16:53.909
Um,

628
00:16:54.020 --> 00:16:54.469
and I didn't,

629
00:16:54.549 --> 00:16:56.469
I honestly knew nothing about Honors Devils,

630
00:16:56.510 --> 00:16:57.109
but Sean was a,

631
00:16:57.270 --> 00:16:58.229
was a CA with me,

632
00:16:58.309 --> 00:17:00.099
and I would like to see him giving these tours,

633
00:17:00.109 --> 00:17:01.710
having the time of his life with people

634
00:17:02.030 --> 00:17:02.429
and be like,

635
00:17:02.590 --> 00:17:03.539
what is he doing,

636
00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:03.669
right?

637
00:17:03.830 --> 00:17:04.900
I don't even know who he's talking to,

638
00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:05.829
but I'm like,

639
00:17:05.868 --> 00:17:06.550
I wanna do that.

640
00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:07.650
That looks like fun,

641
00:17:08.030 --> 00:17:08.348
um,

642
00:17:08.469 --> 00:17:11.449
and he was super connected with the community and had friends everywhere he went.

643
00:17:11.510 --> 00:17:11.780
I was like,

644
00:17:11.829 --> 00:17:12.000
uh,

645
00:17:12.108 --> 00:17:12.630
I want that.

646
00:17:12.709 --> 00:17:13.589
That's a cool experience.

647
00:17:13.750 --> 00:17:14.108
So,

648
00:17:14.479 --> 00:17:14.739
um,

649
00:17:14.790 --> 00:17:15.750
I think I was just trying to,

650
00:17:16.030 --> 00:17:16.868
trying to meet more people,

651
00:17:16.910 --> 00:17:18.390
and this seemed like a really good way to,

652
00:17:18.550 --> 00:17:19.989
to get in there and learn more about the community.

653
00:17:22.989 --> 00:17:23.530
Um,

654
00:17:23.630 --> 00:17:24.410
I

655
00:17:24.670 --> 00:17:26.829
knew like when I was coming to Barrett as a freshman that

656
00:17:26.829 --> 00:17:29.229
I was gonna want to be a tour guide for Barrett because

657
00:17:29.550 --> 00:17:33.099
I had had such a great time on my visit day and what had really stood out to me about my

658
00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:35.500
visit day was that I got to have lunch with a

659
00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:38.030
history major and I double majored in history and anthropology,

660
00:17:38.109 --> 00:17:38.569
um.

661
00:17:38.979 --> 00:17:41.670
And none of the other schools that I went and visited during my college search

662
00:17:41.670 --> 00:17:45.910
process made any effort to connect me with somebody who was in my perspective major,

663
00:17:46.229 --> 00:17:46.500
um,

664
00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:48.890
and so that had just like stood out to me as a really big thing.

665
00:17:48.949 --> 00:17:50.280
And so after that day I was like,

666
00:17:50.310 --> 00:17:50.530
OK,

667
00:17:50.630 --> 00:17:50.750
well,

668
00:17:50.790 --> 00:17:51.849
wherever I go to school

669
00:17:52.209 --> 00:17:56.209
I'm gonna be that history major for that one kid who wants to study history.

670
00:17:57.510 --> 00:17:57.979
So

671
00:17:58.310 --> 00:18:01.530
a big part of it for me was like coming and I knew that I wanted to be able to help

672
00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.530
other people

673
00:18:02.630 --> 00:18:03.089
in

674
00:18:03.709 --> 00:18:06.989
smaller majors find people who they could connect with when they came to visit.

675
00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:10.020
Um,

676
00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:10.500
I will,

677
00:18:10.650 --> 00:18:11.579
I think the first reason was.

678
00:18:13.150 --> 00:18:13.630
Oh,

679
00:18:13.790 --> 00:18:14.890
the free polo,

680
00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:15.550
um,

681
00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:18.550
but definitely just kind of sharing my love and passion for the school and

682
00:18:18.709 --> 00:18:19.030
like I said,

683
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:20.300
meeting with prospective families,

684
00:18:20.310 --> 00:18:22.170
like they have so many questions and I think

685
00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:26.069
the best way for them to learn is to meet like an actual student and talk to them.

686
00:18:26.109 --> 00:18:30.109
And so the fact that ASU does such a good job of no matter what you want to study,

687
00:18:30.630 --> 00:18:32.729
like how Abby was saying that they will have a student there

688
00:18:32.989 --> 00:18:35.750
who can share those experiences and kind of helping to be that student.

689
00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:39.630
So I have a funny story about the polos,

690
00:18:39.729 --> 00:18:41.500
and if you were at the reunion last year,

691
00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.459
you heard the story,

692
00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:43.060
but

693
00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:45.300
when we first started honors levels,

694
00:18:45.449 --> 00:18:48.150
we wanted a way to identify ourselves as prospective students,

695
00:18:48.260 --> 00:18:48.719
but,

696
00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:49.380
um,

697
00:18:49.459 --> 00:18:50.540
there was very little budget,

698
00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:51.880
there was zero budget basically,

699
00:18:52.060 --> 00:18:52.739
and so

700
00:18:52.979 --> 00:18:56.140
Dean Humphrey was able to find enough to buy 6 polos.

701
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.459
And they were all double XLs

702
00:18:59.859 --> 00:19:01.479
and they had the logo,

703
00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:05.239
which is a completely unauthorized logo and you guys can never use it again,

704
00:19:05.619 --> 00:19:06.199
um,

705
00:19:06.520 --> 00:19:10.180
and we handed them off so if somebody had a

706
00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:12.420
visit that day where they were working with a student,

707
00:19:12.540 --> 00:19:12.739
they got.

708
00:19:12.849 --> 00:19:15.430
a polo and they had to wear it over their regular shirt

709
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:17.770
because I had to wash them at the end of the week.

710
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.319
And sometimes you would be on a tour and you'd have to hand it off to the next person,

711
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.319
so you'd ask the student to wait just a second,

712
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:25.520
you'd go find the next person,

713
00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:27.489
you'd take the shirt off and they'd put it on.

714
00:19:30.170 --> 00:19:30.180
So

715
00:19:31.469 --> 00:19:33.430
you guys have the luxury of having like your

716
00:19:33.430 --> 00:19:36.219
own polos with your names on them and everything,

717
00:19:36.229 --> 00:19:37.040
and we like,

718
00:19:37.510 --> 00:19:40.349
we had community polos that it's,

719
00:19:40.469 --> 00:19:41.180
but it was,

720
00:19:41.510 --> 00:19:43.780
it identified us as the person they were looking for,

721
00:19:44.109 --> 00:19:44.750
so it worked.

722
00:19:48.859 --> 00:19:53.859
What was one of your like favorite stories that you have like as an honors?

723
00:19:55.069 --> 00:19:55.920
What was your favorite

724
00:19:56.050 --> 00:19:56.739
11 of your,

725
00:19:56.780 --> 00:19:57.979
like a moment that sings.

726
00:20:00.189 --> 00:20:01.489
I just really wanna hear this.

727
00:20:04.010 --> 00:20:06.329
The best one I had was

728
00:20:06.650 --> 00:20:07.770
I gave a tour.

729
00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:09.030
Actually,

730
00:20:09.109 --> 00:20:10.189
I don't even remember the tour.

731
00:20:10.270 --> 00:20:12.180
I like have no recollection of giving this tour.

732
00:20:12.229 --> 00:20:14.810
I know that I had given a tour to a student,

733
00:20:14.989 --> 00:20:15.520
for sure,

734
00:20:15.869 --> 00:20:17.229
because the student found me.

735
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:18.920
The next year,

736
00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:21.859
we're both living in the um in the dorms,

737
00:20:21.869 --> 00:20:23.469
and the student found me and was like,

738
00:20:23.729 --> 00:20:24.359
oh my God,

739
00:20:24.479 --> 00:20:25.339
you're the person

740
00:20:25.760 --> 00:20:27.750
who gave this like incredible tour,

741
00:20:27.760 --> 00:20:28.189
and they were like,

742
00:20:28.239 --> 00:20:31.660
I didn't even want to go to ASU like I had no interest in coming and you gave this

743
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.959
awesome tour and it was so good and you were so excited.

744
00:20:35.239 --> 00:20:36.380
And like now I'm here.

745
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.709
And I was just like,

746
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.239
at the time,

747
00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:38.760
I'm like,

748
00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:39.890
OK,

749
00:20:40.040 --> 00:20:40.050
like,

750
00:20:40.439 --> 00:20:40.599
you know,

751
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.250
I'm starting like with a group of friends like,

752
00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:42.520
oh,

753
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.680
it's so good to see you.

754
00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:44.829
I was like totally nice about it,

755
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:45.839
but I feel like that's like a,

756
00:20:45.989 --> 00:20:46.920
that's a moment that stays with you,

757
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.160
you know,

758
00:20:47.239 --> 00:20:49.949
like you did something that someone was so excited about that,

759
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.160
that it like maybe changed the course of,

760
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:52.520
you know,

761
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.729
how they were gonna go about their life.

762
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:54.219
So

763
00:20:54.520 --> 00:20:55.089
it was cool.

764
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:55.959
It was really cool.

765
00:20:58.170 --> 00:20:58.339
I would,

766
00:20:58.449 --> 00:20:58.540
yeah,

767
00:20:58.619 --> 00:21:00.819
that's definitely the best feeling and not just like the tours,

768
00:21:00.829 --> 00:21:03.640
but when you do like luncheons and some of the special events that we have,

769
00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:04.020
um,

770
00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.780
meeting with students,

771
00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.319
I think,

772
00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:05.569
um,

773
00:21:05.579 --> 00:21:06.400
I met with a girl,

774
00:21:06.739 --> 00:21:06.969
um,

775
00:21:06.979 --> 00:21:09.140
who was from South America and so I think I

776
00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:10.959
was asked to do it because I'm minoring in Spanish

777
00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.819
and so

778
00:21:11.939 --> 00:21:12.380
let's be real,

779
00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:13.170
a minor in Spanish,

780
00:21:13.199 --> 00:21:13.959
I'm not fluent,

781
00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:16.719
but I was trying my best to talk to her

782
00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:17.410
and,

783
00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.000
um,

784
00:21:18.459 --> 00:21:19.810
just realizing we had so many just.

785
00:21:20.469 --> 00:21:21.229
Random things in common.

786
00:21:21.250 --> 00:21:23.930
We both like to do yoga and like a couple of things like that

787
00:21:24.089 --> 00:21:26.920
and we both wanted to study economics and we had all these things in common and

788
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:28.469
kind of realizing that

789
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:31.709
Barrett has so many different opportunities in such a diverse population,

790
00:21:31.810 --> 00:21:32.510
but still

791
00:21:32.689 --> 00:21:35.410
I could connect with her in broken Spanish over all

792
00:21:35.410 --> 00:21:37.510
of these things over one lunch in the dining hall,

793
00:21:37.910 --> 00:21:37.920
um,

794
00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:40.270
and so it's the moments like that where you realize that

795
00:21:40.390 --> 00:21:42.510
Barrett really is or can be for anyone.

796
00:21:44.540 --> 00:21:46.209
I would kind of echo that idea of like

797
00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:48.260
the best moments are when you find people who are

798
00:21:48.260 --> 00:21:49.979
just like you or have things in common with you.

799
00:21:50.060 --> 00:21:50.619
Like I know

800
00:21:50.780 --> 00:21:51.920
I'm sure that we all have

801
00:21:52.260 --> 00:21:54.619
funny tour stories of like ridiculous things that happen,

802
00:21:54.699 --> 00:21:55.119
but the,

803
00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:58.219
the ones that like I think really stick with you for a long time are knowing like.

804
00:21:58.790 --> 00:22:00.290
I gave it to her to this student

805
00:22:00.670 --> 00:22:03.670
who was from Colorado or a student who also wanted to study history.

806
00:22:03.750 --> 00:22:06.900
Like I was always extremely excited when I would get texts from Rita that were like,

807
00:22:06.910 --> 00:22:08.750
we have a history major coming this week and I was like,

808
00:22:08.790 --> 00:22:09.109
OK,

809
00:22:09.189 --> 00:22:09.790
I'm ready.

810
00:22:10.150 --> 00:22:11.310
I'm ready for it,

811
00:22:11.670 --> 00:22:11.979
um,

812
00:22:12.109 --> 00:22:15.630
so like those days when you get to talk to a student who you can really connect with,

813
00:22:15.709 --> 00:22:16.949
those were always my favorite memories.

814
00:22:18.650 --> 00:22:19.280
Um,

815
00:22:19.410 --> 00:22:19.489
yeah,

816
00:22:19.569 --> 00:22:19.709
I,

817
00:22:19.790 --> 00:22:20.430
I remember,

818
00:22:20.569 --> 00:22:21.040
uh,

819
00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:23.099
being impressed with a lot of the students.

820
00:22:23.209 --> 00:22:25.109
Like it definitely felt like,

821
00:22:25.449 --> 00:22:25.859
um,

822
00:22:26.050 --> 00:22:27.670
the quality was

823
00:22:28.250 --> 00:22:29.209
getting better actually,

824
00:22:29.290 --> 00:22:30.170
which is what you wanna see.

825
00:22:30.209 --> 00:22:30.410
I mean,

826
00:22:30.449 --> 00:22:32.430
that means that they're maybe a little smarter than

827
00:22:32.810 --> 00:22:33.930
I am or my friends are,

828
00:22:34.010 --> 00:22:35.229
but it was cool to see,

829
00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:35.560
uh,

830
00:22:35.569 --> 00:22:37.050
Barrett grow and,

831
00:22:37.410 --> 00:22:37.969
um.

832
00:22:38.650 --> 00:22:40.010
I was all my freshman year,

833
00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:41.290
I was in the old dorms,

834
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:42.589
not the McClintock one,

835
00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:44.020
but like the center complex,

836
00:22:44.410 --> 00:22:47.280
and as we moved over to the new dorms,

837
00:22:47.569 --> 00:22:50.229
you could really feel like the buzz and the excitement

838
00:22:50.229 --> 00:22:52.550
amongst the students that we were giving tours to,

839
00:22:52.930 --> 00:22:53.130
uh,

840
00:22:53.270 --> 00:22:53.489
so that was,

841
00:22:53.569 --> 00:22:54.250
that was fun to see.

842
00:22:55.790 --> 00:22:57.359
I do actually have a story.

843
00:22:57.430 --> 00:22:59.020
I was having lunch with a friend of mine,

844
00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:04.050
and she and I have been friends since she overnighted with me when she was touring

845
00:23:04.310 --> 00:23:05.650
the honors college,

846
00:23:06.069 --> 00:23:08.250
and now she is a professor,

847
00:23:08.510 --> 00:23:08.790
uh,

848
00:23:08.829 --> 00:23:11.500
in Kentucky and she's back here doing research and she's like,

849
00:23:11.869 --> 00:23:12.310
you know what,

850
00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:13.550
that night that I stayed with you,

851
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:15.829
I thought you were the coolest person ever.

852
00:23:16.189 --> 00:23:16.670
And I was like,

853
00:23:16.869 --> 00:23:18.469
no one has ever thought I was.

854
00:23:19.459 --> 00:23:21.180
The coolest person they've ever met.

855
00:23:21.229 --> 00:23:21.550
I'm like,

856
00:23:21.670 --> 00:23:21.989
I,

857
00:23:22.109 --> 00:23:24.189
I know I'm not the coolest person you've ever met.

858
00:23:24.270 --> 00:23:24.540
She's like,

859
00:23:24.630 --> 00:23:24.670
No,

860
00:23:24.790 --> 00:23:26.290
I thought you were like the best.

861
00:23:26.589 --> 00:23:27.819
I thought you were so cool.

862
00:23:27.869 --> 00:23:28.689
And I was like,

863
00:23:29.030 --> 00:23:29.390
wow,

864
00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:30.310
I had no idea,

865
00:23:30.349 --> 00:23:30.550
you know,

866
00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:32.229
it's that kind of thing where it's like you

867
00:23:32.229 --> 00:23:35.030
have this influence on somebody without even knowing it.

868
00:23:35.550 --> 00:23:36.790
And then later on,

869
00:23:36.829 --> 00:23:37.140
they're like,

870
00:23:37.189 --> 00:23:38.650
you changed my life,

871
00:23:38.670 --> 00:23:42.079
and it's really amazing to hear that from somebody.

872
00:23:42.430 --> 00:23:42.589
Yeah,

873
00:23:42.790 --> 00:23:43.349
and like.

874
00:23:43.729 --> 00:23:44.689
I gave some good tours,

875
00:23:44.810 --> 00:23:46.650
but I definitely gave some bad tours,

876
00:23:46.729 --> 00:23:47.329
you know what I mean?

877
00:23:47.449 --> 00:23:47.599
Like,

878
00:23:47.729 --> 00:23:48.890
not every tour

879
00:23:49.089 --> 00:23:50.369
was my finest material,

880
00:23:50.489 --> 00:23:50.930
so it's like,

881
00:23:51.050 --> 00:23:51.359
you know,

882
00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:51.849
you know,

883
00:23:51.890 --> 00:23:53.349
you have good days and you have bad days,

884
00:23:53.410 --> 00:23:54.959
and sometimes visits go really well,

885
00:23:54.969 --> 00:23:55.609
and sometimes you're like,

886
00:23:55.709 --> 00:23:55.719
yeah,

887
00:23:55.810 --> 00:23:56.790
I probably could have gone better,

888
00:23:57.329 --> 00:23:57.650
but like,

889
00:23:57.770 --> 00:23:57.930
you know,

890
00:23:58.010 --> 00:23:59.239
to get that good feedback and,

891
00:23:59.369 --> 00:24:00.890
and have it have been a standard thing,

892
00:24:00.969 --> 00:24:02.250
not something that stood out in your mind,

893
00:24:02.329 --> 00:24:03.079
it's just a cool,

894
00:24:04.219 --> 00:24:05.510
I think you probably had a similar experience,

895
00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:07.189
yeah.

896
00:24:07.199 --> 00:24:10.089
So what were some common events and like duties that you had as an artist.

897
00:24:13.369 --> 00:24:15.069
I think mine were different from yours

898
00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:16.790
because

899
00:24:16.890 --> 00:24:19.699
you have to remember this is before everybody had email.

900
00:24:20.219 --> 00:24:22.000
Only engineering majors had email

901
00:24:22.609 --> 00:24:26.250
and we didn't have smartphones and we didn't have text messages and stuff.

902
00:24:26.369 --> 00:24:26.839
So,

903
00:24:27.130 --> 00:24:28.089
the beginning of the semester,

904
00:24:28.369 --> 00:24:31.650
everybody filled out an index card that had their name and their major,

905
00:24:32.010 --> 00:24:33.089
what room they were in,

906
00:24:33.130 --> 00:24:34.930
and it had their class schedule on it.

907
00:24:35.329 --> 00:24:37.489
And so if I had a student coming to visit,

908
00:24:37.609 --> 00:24:40.229
I had to go through all of the index cards.

909
00:24:41.829 --> 00:24:43.910
And find the person who was the right major or

910
00:24:43.910 --> 00:24:46.500
had the right schedule and try to put together like,

911
00:24:46.550 --> 00:24:46.750
OK,

912
00:24:46.829 --> 00:24:48.270
they're gonna go to

913
00:24:48.709 --> 00:24:49.910
um human event with this person,

914
00:24:49.989 --> 00:24:51.060
they're gonna go to lunch with this person,

915
00:24:51.109 --> 00:24:53.310
they're gonna do this and sort of work out

916
00:24:53.589 --> 00:24:55.810
the whole thing for the different people who came

917
00:24:56.189 --> 00:24:57.449
and then go to their door.

918
00:25:00.150 --> 00:25:01.290
And knock on it

919
00:25:01.550 --> 00:25:02.380
and say,

920
00:25:02.630 --> 00:25:03.930
I got somebody coming,

921
00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:04.790
um,

922
00:25:04.949 --> 00:25:06.069
here's the shirt,

923
00:25:06.550 --> 00:25:07.069
and,

924
00:25:07.189 --> 00:25:09.469
and then they would take the student around.

925
00:25:09.589 --> 00:25:10.500
So it was,

926
00:25:10.569 --> 00:25:14.689
the organization was a little bit different then than I think it probably is now.

927
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:16.510
Yeah,

928
00:25:16.630 --> 00:25:17.250
maybe a little.

929
00:25:20.540 --> 00:25:21.140
Um,

930
00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:21.540
I don't know,

931
00:25:21.619 --> 00:25:23.359
we had like the weekly tour rotation,

932
00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:24.170
um,

933
00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:25.930
so in some weeks you were slammed,

934
00:25:25.939 --> 00:25:27.239
and some weeks it wasn't too crazy.

935
00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:27.859
Uh,

936
00:25:27.930 --> 00:25:29.089
it was always fun to go to some of the,

937
00:25:29.209 --> 00:25:30.160
the other events.

938
00:25:30.459 --> 00:25:30.900
Um,

939
00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:33.180
I know there were like awards receptions and things like that.

940
00:25:33.260 --> 00:25:34.020
I can't remember the,

941
00:25:34.099 --> 00:25:35.099
the specifics of them now.

942
00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:36.140
I feel like it's such a rush,

943
00:25:36.219 --> 00:25:36.609
but

944
00:25:36.979 --> 00:25:37.579
that was kind of cool.

945
00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:38.500
You get to see,

946
00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:39.130
um,

947
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:40.339
some new faces and,

948
00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:41.839
and mingle with some students who are doing

949
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:44.819
like some exceptional work and some other kinds of fun things.

950
00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:45.859
What else do we do?

951
00:25:47.579 --> 00:25:48.130
We do a lot of,

952
00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:48.369
um,

953
00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.880
like lunch events in the dining hall.

954
00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:50.540
Um,

955
00:25:50.780 --> 00:25:51.609
so that's always fine.

956
00:25:51.739 --> 00:25:52.119
And then,

957
00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:52.530
um,

958
00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:54.619
like the admitted student days or the sun Devil days.

959
00:25:54.910 --> 00:25:54.920
Yeah.

960
00:25:54.930 --> 00:25:56.660
So those students who know they want to come to AC,

961
00:25:56.739 --> 00:25:57.609
that's kind of fun too,

962
00:25:57.619 --> 00:25:59.729
because they usually have questions and they're more interested.

963
00:26:00.219 --> 00:26:00.569
Um,

964
00:26:00.739 --> 00:26:01.359
so that's good.

965
00:26:01.540 --> 00:26:01.579
Well,

966
00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:02.560
the big group tours.

967
00:26:02.829 --> 00:26:02.849
Yeah.

968
00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:03.109
With,

969
00:26:03.290 --> 00:26:04.219
with like the admitted student days,

970
00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:04.459
right?

971
00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:04.670
Yeah,

972
00:26:04.750 --> 00:26:06.030
on like the Saturday mornings,

973
00:26:06.189 --> 00:26:07.089
I remember some of those.

974
00:26:08.189 --> 00:26:08.989
And sometimes we have,

975
00:26:09.109 --> 00:26:09.229
you know,

976
00:26:09.349 --> 00:26:11.160
like 4th graders come and they are just,

977
00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:12.060
you just want to see it.

978
00:26:12.109 --> 00:26:13.910
And so that's also fun when you have

979
00:26:14.069 --> 00:26:16.150
like a lot younger students who have never heard of,

980
00:26:16.260 --> 00:26:16.410
you know,

981
00:26:16.540 --> 00:26:17.650
a dorm or something like that,

982
00:26:17.670 --> 00:26:19.319
and they get to see the ping pong table.

983
00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:19.829
excites,

984
00:26:20.109 --> 00:26:20.750
excites everyone.

985
00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:20.989
It's,

986
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:22.689
um,

987
00:26:22.699 --> 00:26:24.119
into doing tours like that.

988
00:26:24.869 --> 00:26:27.069
I remember bringing like when they were anthropology students

989
00:26:27.069 --> 00:26:29.699
or whatever major you have students that would come in

990
00:26:29.989 --> 00:26:30.810
who were like

991
00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:32.750
freshmen and sophomores in high school

992
00:26:32.949 --> 00:26:33.310
and they're like,

993
00:26:33.349 --> 00:26:33.709
oh yeah,

994
00:26:33.790 --> 00:26:34.109
I wanna,

995
00:26:34.229 --> 00:26:35.390
I wanna study anthropology.

996
00:26:35.430 --> 00:26:36.369
I wanna do archaeology.

997
00:26:36.750 --> 00:26:37.030
I'm like,

998
00:26:37.109 --> 00:26:37.219
man,

999
00:26:37.270 --> 00:26:38.380
I wish I had known that when I was a

1000
00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:40.180
freshman in high school like I just figured this out.

1001
00:26:40.189 --> 00:26:40.770
I'm a junior.

1002
00:26:42.030 --> 00:26:43.099
That's so cool.

1003
00:26:43.189 --> 00:26:43.199
Yeah,

1004
00:26:43.810 --> 00:26:43.819
right.

1005
00:26:45.469 --> 00:26:47.209
You could really teach me some things about myself.

1006
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.469
So that was,

1007
00:26:49.589 --> 00:26:50.270
those were fun.

1008
00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:54.910
What do you think is the biggest change you've seen in um Barrett,

1009
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:55.709
the Honors College,

1010
00:26:55.829 --> 00:26:56.949
um throughout the years?

1011
00:26:58.410 --> 00:26:59.319
It's huge,

1012
00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:00.609
uh,

1013
00:27:00.739 --> 00:27:01.060
I mean,

1014
00:27:01.219 --> 00:27:01.709
that's,

1015
00:27:01.780 --> 00:27:02.770
that's really,

1016
00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:05.219
it has grown so much and.

1017
00:27:05.979 --> 00:27:07.699
It's not just the number of students,

1018
00:27:07.739 --> 00:27:10.319
but the number of people who work there like having

1019
00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:12.699
not only your own recruiter,

1020
00:27:12.739 --> 00:27:15.160
but like a whole recruiting team

1021
00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:16.680
is just,

1022
00:27:17.020 --> 00:27:17.410
you know,

1023
00:27:17.699 --> 00:27:21.199
it's it's everything is so much bigger and everything is so much.

1024
00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:22.630
Um,

1025
00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:24.010
better organized.

1026
00:27:24.459 --> 00:27:24.579
No,

1027
00:27:24.660 --> 00:27:26.819
I don't wanna say that because it wasn't like it was disorganized,

1028
00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:27.219
but there was,

1029
00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:30.140
there's so much more support and there's so many more resources and everything,

1030
00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:31.060
and

1031
00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:32.449
I think that's good and bad.

1032
00:27:32.540 --> 00:27:35.199
I think it's really nice for me to hear that

1033
00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:36.380
even though it's grown,

1034
00:27:36.459 --> 00:27:38.050
it's kept that sense of community,

1035
00:27:38.060 --> 00:27:40.099
and you guys always feel like you're supported and you

1036
00:27:40.099 --> 00:27:42.359
feel like you have a place there and everything because

1037
00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:44.040
I think that's the thing that.

1038
00:27:44.810 --> 00:27:47.780
You're afraid of when you watch something that you care about change,

1039
00:27:47.790 --> 00:27:49.849
that it will lose the things that make it special.

1040
00:27:49.890 --> 00:27:50.869
And I feel like

1041
00:27:51.089 --> 00:27:53.150
Barrett has done a really good job of

1042
00:27:53.329 --> 00:27:57.250
embracing growth and embracing new things without losing

1043
00:27:57.250 --> 00:27:59.930
that sort of core of what it's about.

1044
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.500
I think that we probably all experienced like

1045
00:28:04.719 --> 00:28:06.800
different eras of change in Barrett's history.

1046
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.459
Like I know,

1047
00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:08.569
um,

1048
00:28:08.719 --> 00:28:09.109
for me,

1049
00:28:09.209 --> 00:28:12.199
my freshman year was either the 1st or 2nd year

1050
00:28:12.199 --> 00:28:14.800
that Barrett had like just started creeping into Vista,

1051
00:28:15.199 --> 00:28:15.619
um,

1052
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:16.199
and then

1053
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:17.839
being in housing,

1054
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.130
I got to like watch that expansion fully happen to the point where now we're at

1055
00:28:21.239 --> 00:28:22.520
at least close to 100%.

1056
00:28:22.755 --> 00:28:24.405
if not all the way at 100%

1057
00:28:24.755 --> 00:28:25.194
um,

1058
00:28:25.395 --> 00:28:29.015
and that was a really exciting change to watch and to be a part of to see like

1059
00:28:29.234 --> 00:28:32.594
the whole upperclassman half of the on-campus Barrit experience really

1060
00:28:32.594 --> 00:28:35.145
develop because being on campus was very important to me

1061
00:28:35.354 --> 00:28:38.635
and I loved being able to see that happen and like come to fruition where we

1062
00:28:38.635 --> 00:28:41.314
had a really solid upperclassman Barra community that

1063
00:28:41.314 --> 00:28:42.834
could be all together over here at Vista.

1064
00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:47.219
And that's funny because I was talking to Dean Jacobs about

1065
00:28:47.219 --> 00:28:49.969
the new building when they were building it in like 2008.

1066
00:28:50.719 --> 00:28:51.489
And I said,

1067
00:28:51.729 --> 00:28:53.130
you're never going to fill that whole building.

1068
00:28:57.459 --> 00:28:57.640
Like,

1069
00:28:57.660 --> 00:28:57.829
you never,

1070
00:28:58.500 --> 00:28:58.689
I mean,

1071
00:28:58.739 --> 00:28:59.619
we were talking about,

1072
00:28:59.699 --> 00:28:59.839
OK,

1073
00:29:00.020 --> 00:29:00.130
well,

1074
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:01.579
if it doesn't fill with honor students,

1075
00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:03.280
maybe grad students would live there,

1076
00:29:03.459 --> 00:29:03.699
you know,

1077
00:29:03.819 --> 00:29:04.219
there was,

1078
00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:05.880
I'm not sure anybody

1079
00:29:06.300 --> 00:29:10.180
anticipated that not only would it fill the entire community that fast,

1080
00:29:10.300 --> 00:29:12.910
but it would start to like put tendrils out into

1081
00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:15.699
other buildings and take over Vista and like,

1082
00:29:15.709 --> 00:29:17.079
I don't think anybody

1083
00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:18.780
could possibly imagine that.

1084
00:29:18.849 --> 00:29:22.540
He was actually upset about being Vista being built because like they got a pool,

1085
00:29:22.699 --> 00:29:24.839
they're going to pull our students away because they've got a pool.

1086
00:29:27.310 --> 00:29:29.030
And then it turns out you guys were like,

1087
00:29:29.069 --> 00:29:29.270
all right,

1088
00:29:29.349 --> 00:29:29.430
yeah,

1089
00:29:29.550 --> 00:29:31.170
so we'll just colonize the pool.

1090
00:29:32.729 --> 00:29:33.819
Now it's our pool,

1091
00:29:34.250 --> 00:29:36.770
and um I think that's been really fun to watch,

1092
00:29:36.890 --> 00:29:38.089
even just 10 years ago,

1093
00:29:38.170 --> 00:29:40.290
I don't think anybody expected this to happen.

1094
00:29:43.020 --> 00:29:43.150
Yeah,

1095
00:29:43.229 --> 00:29:43.550
I don't know,

1096
00:29:43.630 --> 00:29:43.949
it was,

1097
00:29:44.030 --> 00:29:45.650
I saw the transition from center

1098
00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:46.979
to,

1099
00:29:47.150 --> 00:29:47.689
to the new

1100
00:29:48.109 --> 00:29:49.020
um honors college,

1101
00:29:49.030 --> 00:29:49.770
and then,

1102
00:29:50.270 --> 00:29:50.869
and it was,

1103
00:29:50.989 --> 00:29:51.420
that was like,

1104
00:29:51.430 --> 00:29:51.910
it was normal,

1105
00:29:51.989 --> 00:29:52.150
you know,

1106
00:29:52.189 --> 00:29:53.630
I'd seen that it was being constructed.

1107
00:29:53.670 --> 00:29:53.910
I'm like,

1108
00:29:53.949 --> 00:29:54.099
oh,

1109
00:29:54.109 --> 00:29:54.500
this is great,

1110
00:29:54.550 --> 00:29:55.650
the college is expanding,

1111
00:29:55.750 --> 00:29:57.130
this is gonna be a really nice space for it.

1112
00:29:57.670 --> 00:29:58.770
But for some reason,

1113
00:29:58.869 --> 00:30:00.530
the move to Vista was super strange for me.

1114
00:30:00.589 --> 00:30:00.829
I'm like,

1115
00:30:00.910 --> 00:30:01.150
oh man,

1116
00:30:01.540 --> 00:30:02.189
they're called Vista,

1117
00:30:02.229 --> 00:30:02.550
like.

1118
00:30:04.060 --> 00:30:04.839
How can this happen?

1119
00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:05.540
So,

1120
00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:06.020
but I mean,

1121
00:30:06.060 --> 00:30:06.579
it's cool to see.

1122
00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:06.839
I mean,

1123
00:30:06.849 --> 00:30:09.660
it seems like students are still really extraordinary students,

1124
00:30:09.699 --> 00:30:09.939
so.

1125
00:30:10.609 --> 00:30:10.880
Um,

1126
00:30:10.969 --> 00:30:12.910
it's good that they're making room for more.

1127
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.760
What do you think truly made um your buried experience?

1128
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:22.260
It's a good question.

1129
00:30:25.689 --> 00:30:29.969
I think it was the opportunities that came with being in Barrett,

1130
00:30:30.050 --> 00:30:30.560
so

1131
00:30:30.849 --> 00:30:33.310
there were a few things that like you had to do,

1132
00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:33.989
um,

1133
00:30:34.410 --> 00:30:36.589
but for me it was really

1134
00:30:36.689 --> 00:30:39.359
the doors that were opened by being in Barrett,

1135
00:30:39.369 --> 00:30:39.819
um,

1136
00:30:40.209 --> 00:30:43.810
and certainly I could have done a better job of taking advantage of those.

1137
00:30:43.890 --> 00:30:45.160
There were really a lot of

1138
00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:46.130
opportunities,

1139
00:30:46.209 --> 00:30:46.729
but,

1140
00:30:47.050 --> 00:30:47.670
um,

1141
00:30:48.209 --> 00:30:48.280
yeah,

1142
00:30:48.329 --> 00:30:50.109
I mentioned research a few times.

1143
00:30:50.369 --> 00:30:50.880
Uh,

1144
00:30:50.969 --> 00:30:51.329
I,

1145
00:30:51.449 --> 00:30:52.969
I did enjoy doing my,

1146
00:30:53.089 --> 00:30:54.449
my project and.

1147
00:30:54.969 --> 00:30:57.930
That while I don't want to do research for my whole life,

1148
00:30:57.969 --> 00:30:58.510
it did

1149
00:30:59.050 --> 00:31:02.189
make me realize it was something I was interested in and got me involved.

1150
00:31:02.209 --> 00:31:02.810
Um,

1151
00:31:03.209 --> 00:31:05.510
I also had a lot of help from,

1152
00:31:05.530 --> 00:31:05.800
uh,

1153
00:31:05.810 --> 00:31:09.989
the scholarship office and I ended up doing a Fulbright um after graduating,

1154
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:11.069
and

1155
00:31:11.729 --> 00:31:13.869
those were pretty two defining,

1156
00:31:13.930 --> 00:31:14.439
uh,

1157
00:31:14.449 --> 00:31:15.969
components at least in my like

1158
00:31:16.209 --> 00:31:18.949
early to mid-twenties of my personal development,

1159
00:31:18.969 --> 00:31:19.489
and

1160
00:31:19.849 --> 00:31:21.969
I don't think I would have done either of those if it wasn't for her.

1161
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:25.640
Uh,

1162
00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:25.959
for me,

1163
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.979
it's the people that are in my life,

1164
00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:28.270
um,

1165
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:30.739
that were in my life when I was here and are still in my life,

1166
00:31:30.770 --> 00:31:31.500
and,

1167
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:32.500
um,

1168
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:35.380
my best friend is still one of the people I was roommates with.

1169
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:36.319
Um,

1170
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.939
my husband is someone that I knew when I was in

1171
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:40.079
the honors college,

1172
00:31:40.170 --> 00:31:42.410
although I didn't date him at the time.

1173
00:31:43.270 --> 00:31:43.790
Um,

1174
00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:44.630
my best friends,

1175
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:46.560
all the people that I'm with all the time.

1176
00:31:46.930 --> 00:31:47.140
Um,

1177
00:31:47.260 --> 00:31:49.709
there's still people that I knew when I was here.

1178
00:31:50.010 --> 00:31:52.050
And even though I moved away and came back,

1179
00:31:52.219 --> 00:31:56.599
like those bonds stayed and we're still a strong community.

1180
00:31:57.060 --> 00:31:57.640
Um,

1181
00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.780
and there's also,

1182
00:31:58.900 --> 00:31:59.930
this is going to be sad,

1183
00:32:00.020 --> 00:32:00.560
so just,

1184
00:32:00.699 --> 00:32:00.900
uh,

1185
00:32:01.020 --> 00:32:01.760
forgive me,

1186
00:32:02.010 --> 00:32:02.180
um,

1187
00:32:02.300 --> 00:32:05.239
Michael Cochise Young was the assistant dean when I was here,

1188
00:32:05.300 --> 00:32:08.819
and I had the opportunity to work for her when I worked for the Flynn Foundation.

1189
00:32:09.609 --> 00:32:10.119
And,

1190
00:32:10.130 --> 00:32:10.660
um,

1191
00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:12.089
she has since passed,

1192
00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:12.810
unfortunately,

1193
00:32:12.910 --> 00:32:14.989
but she was at my wedding and I was very excited.

1194
00:32:15.329 --> 00:32:19.089
And I had a moment when I was working as the

1195
00:32:19.089 --> 00:32:22.750
assistant director of the honors program at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire,

1196
00:32:23.209 --> 00:32:23.910
and

1197
00:32:24.209 --> 00:32:27.569
I had all these students coming up to me at their graduation saying,

1198
00:32:27.810 --> 00:32:29.050
you made such a difference for me.

1199
00:32:29.170 --> 00:32:31.680
They were like introducing me to their parents,

1200
00:32:31.969 --> 00:32:32.650
and they were saying,

1201
00:32:32.689 --> 00:32:34.130
I got into grad school because of her,

1202
00:32:34.209 --> 00:32:35.469
I did this because of her.

1203
00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:36.560
And

1204
00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:41.739
I realized at that point that all I wanted was to be Michael for someone.

1205
00:32:42.550 --> 00:32:46.849
And to have the same kind of influence on someone that she had on me,

1206
00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:48.900
and I was able to tell her that.

1207
00:32:49.219 --> 00:32:49.969
And

1208
00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:51.380
just to be able to say,

1209
00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:53.079
I just realized that.

1210
00:32:54.670 --> 00:32:57.380
You did this for me and now I'm doing it for other people,

1211
00:32:57.390 --> 00:33:01.030
and those people are going to make a difference for other people and

1212
00:33:01.310 --> 00:33:04.689
it's gonna be this unbroken chain of her influence

1213
00:33:04.949 --> 00:33:06.930
making so many people's lives better.

1214
00:33:07.290 --> 00:33:07.890
And

1215
00:33:08.069 --> 00:33:09.209
so I feel like

1216
00:33:09.510 --> 00:33:10.729
that's the thing that

1217
00:33:11.189 --> 00:33:14.810
I get the most from my experience and honors is

1218
00:33:15.229 --> 00:33:18.010
taking what I learned from the people around me and making

1219
00:33:18.630 --> 00:33:20.310
things better for other people.

1220
00:33:23.060 --> 00:33:23.069
Yeah.

1221
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:25.599
I mean,

1222
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:26.219
it's just,

1223
00:33:26.280 --> 00:33:26.670
it was,

1224
00:33:26.760 --> 00:33:28.060
it was a really

1225
00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.319
fundamental kind of moment for me.

1226
00:33:31.290 --> 00:33:31.979
I think

1227
00:33:32.250 --> 00:33:32.969
just to follow that up,

1228
00:33:33.010 --> 00:33:33.670
the people is,

1229
00:33:33.689 --> 00:33:34.969
is a really big one for me too.

1230
00:33:35.050 --> 00:33:37.599
I'm still friends with a lot of honors college students,

1231
00:33:37.729 --> 00:33:38.130
um,

1232
00:33:38.530 --> 00:33:39.569
spend a lot of time with them,

1233
00:33:39.689 --> 00:33:41.150
people I love most of my life,

1234
00:33:41.209 --> 00:33:41.589
um.

1235
00:33:42.229 --> 00:33:42.790
And yeah,

1236
00:33:42.989 --> 00:33:44.869
and I think none of that would have happened if I hadn't

1237
00:33:45.150 --> 00:33:46.689
lived in the dorms and been here

1238
00:33:46.910 --> 00:33:48.609
and on campus and in the honors program,

1239
00:33:49.109 --> 00:33:49.369
um,

1240
00:33:49.430 --> 00:33:51.729
really helped me find personally find a community

1241
00:33:52.390 --> 00:33:53.550
of people that I wanted to be around.

1242
00:33:53.630 --> 00:33:54.510
I want to spend time around,

1243
00:33:54.630 --> 00:33:55.060
helped me,

1244
00:33:55.339 --> 00:33:55.459
you know,

1245
00:33:55.550 --> 00:33:57.329
get out of the country and do an internship,

1246
00:33:57.750 --> 00:33:58.020
um,

1247
00:33:58.030 --> 00:34:02.239
somewhere that wasn't in the US and kind of get attention from some professors

1248
00:34:02.550 --> 00:34:04.670
that encouraged me then to go to grad school and do that.

1249
00:34:04.780 --> 00:34:05.459
But it also helped me to,

1250
00:34:05.510 --> 00:34:05.630
you know,

1251
00:34:05.719 --> 00:34:07.209
hang out in Michelle's office for like.

1252
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:07.910
You know,

1253
00:34:07.969 --> 00:34:10.040
a couple hours on a Friday afternoon and be

1254
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:13.918
there hanging out with people and having fun and feeling like I was like a really

1255
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:14.978
important part

1256
00:34:15.188 --> 00:34:15.429
of,

1257
00:34:15.550 --> 00:34:16.239
of the community,

1258
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:17.199
not just

1259
00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:18.030
the faculty,

1260
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.320
not,

1261
00:34:18.438 --> 00:34:18.600
you know,

1262
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:19.399
but also the staff,

1263
00:34:19.478 --> 00:34:20.760
like when you're part of the friends of the staff,

1264
00:34:20.879 --> 00:34:22.478
like you know what's going on and you know,

1265
00:34:22.879 --> 00:34:23.120
you know,

1266
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.840
and you get to show those experiences and,

1267
00:34:24.949 --> 00:34:25.340
and,

1268
00:34:25.438 --> 00:34:26.179
um,

1269
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:27.250
and meet new people.

1270
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:29.639
So I feel like people are really open in the honors college.

1271
00:34:29.668 --> 00:34:30.280
It's a great thing.

1272
00:34:30.909 --> 00:34:31.000
Yeah,

1273
00:34:31.080 --> 00:34:34.820
they create that safe space for you to kind of push yourself out of your comfort zone

1274
00:34:35.560 --> 00:34:35.840
and

1275
00:34:36.080 --> 00:34:36.978
and know that

1276
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:38.800
if you do fall,

1277
00:34:38.958 --> 00:34:40.179
somebody's back there,

1278
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:43.120
but if you don't,

1279
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.239
you've done something you never expected.

1280
00:34:47.388 --> 00:34:48.549
I'll echo it again.

1281
00:34:48.697 --> 00:34:49.608
The people are

1282
00:34:50.148 --> 00:34:51.228
the biggest thing by far.

1283
00:34:51.309 --> 00:34:51.467
I mean,

1284
00:34:51.549 --> 00:34:51.958
I'm,

1285
00:34:52.108 --> 00:34:53.178
I'm currently living in Denver,

1286
00:34:53.268 --> 00:34:53.618
Colorado,

1287
00:34:53.668 --> 00:34:56.728
and I happen to be here right now for homecoming weekend because

1288
00:34:57.029 --> 00:34:57.779
as I was thinking about it,

1289
00:34:57.829 --> 00:34:58.269
I was like,

1290
00:34:58.958 --> 00:34:59.069
yes,

1291
00:34:59.148 --> 00:35:00.579
I'm coming back because I wanna go to a football

1292
00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:02.388
game and like have a fun ASU experience again,

1293
00:35:02.468 --> 00:35:04.789
but a lot of what I'm coming back for is to be able to see people.

1294
00:35:04.989 --> 00:35:05.218
Um,

1295
00:35:05.349 --> 00:35:07.989
my afternoon today is spent coming around and seeing friends,

1296
00:35:08.138 --> 00:35:08.829
professors,

1297
00:35:09.148 --> 00:35:09.628
staff members,

1298
00:35:09.698 --> 00:35:11.749
people who I got to interact with for the last 4 years,

1299
00:35:11.789 --> 00:35:13.049
and I think the fact that

1300
00:35:13.468 --> 00:35:14.668
I still feel so drawn to be.

1301
00:35:14.905 --> 00:35:16.645
And to see those people speaks a lot to what

1302
00:35:16.645 --> 00:35:19.314
my Barrett experience was and what those relationships formed were,

1303
00:35:19.324 --> 00:35:20.185
and I think that

1304
00:35:20.405 --> 00:35:21.685
down the road 5 years from now,

1305
00:35:21.725 --> 00:35:22.935
I'm still going to feel the same way.

1306
00:35:23.004 --> 00:35:26.024
I'm still going to want to be able to interact with those same people because

1307
00:35:26.324 --> 00:35:27.504
what Barrett is,

1308
00:35:27.514 --> 00:35:30.745
is that community and those relationships and the experience that you have.

1309
00:35:32.304 --> 00:35:33.165
I know Pig Pearl?

1310
00:35:33.939 --> 00:35:34.250
Yes,

1311
00:35:34.379 --> 00:35:34.860
of course.

1312
00:35:35.219 --> 00:35:36.419
So he's also a former.

1313
00:35:40.270 --> 00:35:40.760
So

1314
00:35:40.870 --> 00:35:43.540
it's even across the years those relationships,

1315
00:35:43.550 --> 00:35:44.020
um,

1316
00:35:44.080 --> 00:35:46.110
just from being part of this organization.

1317
00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:47.780
Um,

1318
00:35:47.790 --> 00:35:50.030
I was just going to highlight that also it's the culture that

1319
00:35:50.030 --> 00:35:53.129
Barrett creates and that kind of fostering that sense of success,

1320
00:35:53.340 --> 00:35:55.060
but also in a non-competitive way,

1321
00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:56.250
and I think because

1322
00:35:56.429 --> 00:35:59.179
all the students at Barrett are so successful and so,

1323
00:35:59.419 --> 00:35:59.580
you know,

1324
00:35:59.649 --> 00:36:02.030
accomplishing so many things and have all these ambitions,

1325
00:36:02.110 --> 00:36:02.709
but we're never

1326
00:36:03.030 --> 00:36:03.989
pitted against each other.

1327
00:36:04.070 --> 00:36:05.179
We're never thought like,

1328
00:36:05.389 --> 00:36:05.750
oh well,

1329
00:36:05.790 --> 00:36:07.949
I shouldn't apply for this or tell my friend about this

1330
00:36:08.149 --> 00:36:09.709
because they're going to take the spot away from me.

1331
00:36:10.169 --> 00:36:10.179
Um,

1332
00:36:10.189 --> 00:36:13.770
so really kind of getting that mindset of collaboration and community

1333
00:36:13.949 --> 00:36:15.510
is such a big hallmark of Barrett.

1334
00:36:15.879 --> 00:36:15.889
And

1335
00:36:16.040 --> 00:36:18.800
I think that's why we have so many opportunities and why

1336
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.040
we just keep those relationships forever,

1337
00:36:21.060 --> 00:36:23.939
because even if you know someone else got the internship that I wanted,

1338
00:36:24.040 --> 00:36:26.300
I never feel bad or resentful because

1339
00:36:26.520 --> 00:36:28.949
Barrett know Barrett tells you about all these different opportunities.

1340
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:30.159
There's always something out there for you.

1341
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:33.110
That's one of my funny tour stories,

1342
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:33.729
actually,

1343
00:36:33.810 --> 00:36:35.370
is we had a student come

1344
00:36:35.570 --> 00:36:37.250
and we brought him to lunch with the dean and

1345
00:36:37.250 --> 00:36:39.919
so everybody was there and we were talking and he's,

1346
00:36:40.250 --> 00:36:40.449
we're like,

1347
00:36:40.530 --> 00:36:40.649
hey,

1348
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:41.770
do you have any questions for us?

1349
00:36:41.850 --> 00:36:42.280
And he said,

1350
00:36:42.449 --> 00:36:44.449
What are all of your SAT scores?

1351
00:36:44.770 --> 00:36:46.429
And it just went dead silent.

1352
00:36:47.330 --> 00:36:47.620
Like,

1353
00:36:47.870 --> 00:36:50.270
like he had just dropped a stink bomb or something and I was like,

1354
00:36:50.729 --> 00:36:52.510
we don't talk about that like this.

1355
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:55.939
That is,

1356
00:36:56.120 --> 00:36:56.320
I,

1357
00:36:56.399 --> 00:36:56.560
I,

1358
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:56.800
you know,

1359
00:36:56.879 --> 00:36:58.139
I know you're in high school right now,

1360
00:36:58.239 --> 00:36:58.689
but

1361
00:36:59.000 --> 00:36:59.199
yeah,

1362
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:00.979
that you leave that behind.

1363
00:37:05.399 --> 00:37:05.669
Um,

1364
00:37:05.830 --> 00:37:08.560
what were some memorable events you attended while you were?

1365
00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:14.320
Like as an honors level or

1366
00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:15.449
just more generally,

1367
00:37:16.300 --> 00:37:16.780
oh my gosh,

1368
00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:17.179
OK.

1369
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:19.280
Well,

1370
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:19.479
no,

1371
00:37:19.560 --> 00:37:20.409
I just had a

1372
00:37:22.919 --> 00:37:24.979
Michelle's the hot dog eating contest.

1373
00:37:25.439 --> 00:37:25.659
Yeah,

1374
00:37:25.790 --> 00:37:26.199
that was,

1375
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:27.159
that was pretty bad.

1376
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:27.949
We had like a,

1377
00:37:28.070 --> 00:37:29.800
well it was a group hot dog eating contest,

1378
00:37:29.959 --> 00:37:30.199
right?

1379
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.320
I know my team won it because I was pounding those hot dogs.

1380
00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:35.860
No,

1381
00:37:35.979 --> 00:37:36.340
I would,

1382
00:37:36.449 --> 00:37:37.820
what I was gonna say that was,

1383
00:37:37.899 --> 00:37:38.020
well,

1384
00:37:38.060 --> 00:37:39.600
that was an extraordinary experience.

1385
00:37:39.939 --> 00:37:40.340
Um,

1386
00:37:40.459 --> 00:37:42.219
I don't think I've eaten a hot dog since then,

1387
00:37:42.580 --> 00:37:42.879
uh,

1388
00:37:43.020 --> 00:37:43.500
but no,

1389
00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:44.280
I had,

1390
00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:44.780
um.

1391
00:37:45.300 --> 00:37:46.000
I was taking

1392
00:37:46.260 --> 00:37:48.040
a buried cities and Lost Tribes class,

1393
00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:50.179
and it was Laura Popova taught it,

1394
00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:51.399
who I still am in contact with,

1395
00:37:51.409 --> 00:37:51.699
who's,

1396
00:37:51.899 --> 00:37:52.370
who's awesome.

1397
00:37:52.419 --> 00:37:52.540
Yeah,

1398
00:37:52.659 --> 00:37:53.320
she's really cool,

1399
00:37:54.379 --> 00:37:54.709
yeah,

1400
00:37:54.979 --> 00:37:58.320
but she was out for the week and Peggy Nelson was teaching the class.

1401
00:37:58.580 --> 00:37:59.800
This is like my first,

1402
00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:01.939
I don't even think I'd switched to being an anthropology major.

1403
00:38:01.979 --> 00:38:02.500
I just was like,

1404
00:38:02.570 --> 00:38:03.570
I'm interested in anthropology.

1405
00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:06.330
It's my junior year and I changed my major six times.

1406
00:38:06.379 --> 00:38:07.000
It's whatever.

1407
00:38:07.379 --> 00:38:08.129
I'll figure it out.

1408
00:38:08.419 --> 00:38:10.010
But Peggy Nelson's teaching the class and,

1409
00:38:10.129 --> 00:38:12.290
and I have this class session where I'm like talking a lot and I'm like,

1410
00:38:12.610 --> 00:38:14.219
oh maybe we should talk a little bit less and

1411
00:38:14.570 --> 00:38:15.050
At some point,

1412
00:38:15.120 --> 00:38:16.239
Peggy was like,

1413
00:38:16.649 --> 00:38:16.969
Chris,

1414
00:38:17.090 --> 00:38:18.169
can I talk to you after class?

1415
00:38:18.409 --> 00:38:18.850
And I'm like,

1416
00:38:18.929 --> 00:38:19.830
oh man,

1417
00:38:19.969 --> 00:38:21.129
what did I do?

1418
00:38:21.290 --> 00:38:21.530
Like,

1419
00:38:21.570 --> 00:38:22.250
I'm in trouble,

1420
00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:23.429
this is terrible.

1421
00:38:24.010 --> 00:38:25.489
And so I go and talk to her after class,

1422
00:38:25.530 --> 00:38:26.290
and she's like,

1423
00:38:27.340 --> 00:38:27.459
Like,

1424
00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:28.020
what do you,

1425
00:38:28.110 --> 00:38:28.300
you know,

1426
00:38:28.379 --> 00:38:29.219
what are you doing with your life?

1427
00:38:29.330 --> 00:38:30.399
What are you doing when you graduate?

1428
00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:31.669
And I'm like,

1429
00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:32.330
uh,

1430
00:38:32.379 --> 00:38:32.739
I don't know,

1431
00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:34.300
like I just started getting interested in,

1432
00:38:34.370 --> 00:38:35.139
in archaeology,

1433
00:38:35.219 --> 00:38:35.810
anthropology,

1434
00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:36.280
and she's like,

1435
00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:36.389
well,

1436
00:38:36.459 --> 00:38:37.260
have you done field school?

1437
00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:37.899
Are you doing this?

1438
00:38:37.979 --> 00:38:38.500
Are you doing this?

1439
00:38:38.580 --> 00:38:39.729
And I think she was just like,

1440
00:38:39.979 --> 00:38:42.689
I was really excited in the class and she pulled me after and she's like,

1441
00:38:42.939 --> 00:38:42.979
well,

1442
00:38:43.020 --> 00:38:45.800
you got to come do some fieldwork if you want to be an archaeologist.

1443
00:38:45.929 --> 00:38:46.260
And I was like,

1444
00:38:46.340 --> 00:38:47.939
I haven't even thought about being an archaeologist,

1445
00:38:48.060 --> 00:38:48.300
but

1446
00:38:48.629 --> 00:38:50.070
I guess this is what I should think about right now.

1447
00:38:50.110 --> 00:38:51.169
I'm a junior.

1448
00:38:51.709 --> 00:38:52.310
Um,

1449
00:38:52.350 --> 00:38:54.350
and I think if she hadn't like picked me out

1450
00:38:54.350 --> 00:38:55.909
and made me talk to her after class about this,

1451
00:38:55.949 --> 00:38:56.189
I,

1452
00:38:56.310 --> 00:38:57.649
I was supposed to go work,

1453
00:38:57.709 --> 00:38:58.060
um,

1454
00:38:58.070 --> 00:38:58.939
that same summer

1455
00:38:59.189 --> 00:38:59.810
with her,

1456
00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:00.020
um,

1457
00:39:00.030 --> 00:39:01.800
on a project in the Embrace region of,

1458
00:39:01.870 --> 00:39:02.780
of New Mexico,

1459
00:39:02.830 --> 00:39:04.610
but I ended up doing a totally different thing,

1460
00:39:04.949 --> 00:39:05.300
um,

1461
00:39:05.310 --> 00:39:08.050
through the Community of undergraduate Research scholars class that she taught.

1462
00:39:08.350 --> 00:39:08.780
Um,

1463
00:39:08.790 --> 00:39:09.330
and so it,

1464
00:39:09.340 --> 00:39:10.040
it ended up great,

1465
00:39:10.110 --> 00:39:12.469
but I think if she hadn't like pulled me aside and then like,

1466
00:39:12.550 --> 00:39:13.770
what are you doing with your life?

1467
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:15.139
I probably

1468
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:16.379
might still be asking,

1469
00:39:16.399 --> 00:39:17.520
what am I doing with my life,

1470
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:18.530
you know,

1471
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:20.139
so that was cool.

1472
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:22.310
That is really good.

1473
00:39:22.389 --> 00:39:23.209
She taught my

1474
00:39:23.790 --> 00:39:25.110
ASM 101 class.

1475
00:39:25.350 --> 00:39:25.469
Yeah,

1476
00:39:25.550 --> 00:39:27.169
I was a social anthropology major

1477
00:39:27.709 --> 00:39:31.100
and she still remembered me like after all this time,

1478
00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:31.590
I was like,

1479
00:39:31.709 --> 00:39:32.100
oh wow,

1480
00:39:32.189 --> 00:39:32.949
congratulations,

1481
00:39:33.030 --> 00:39:33.189
you know,

1482
00:39:33.270 --> 00:39:33.500
you're,

1483
00:39:33.550 --> 00:39:34.790
you're in the honors college now,

1484
00:39:34.830 --> 00:39:35.449
and she's like,

1485
00:39:35.750 --> 00:39:36.179
Ivy,

1486
00:39:36.229 --> 00:39:37.989
you did this great project for my class,

1487
00:39:38.070 --> 00:39:38.419
and I was like,

1488
00:39:38.469 --> 00:39:39.429
oh my God.

1489
00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:42.510
And that's just what she's like,

1490
00:39:42.709 --> 00:39:42.909
yeah,

1491
00:39:43.070 --> 00:39:44.010
she's really cool.

1492
00:39:45.870 --> 00:39:47.360
I went to my first opera

1493
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:49.989
as part of a of the honors college,

1494
00:39:50.040 --> 00:39:51.280
and that was super exciting,

1495
00:39:51.389 --> 00:39:55.489
I actually now I really love opera and I used to when I worked in Wisconsin.

1496
00:39:56.229 --> 00:39:59.409
We organized a trip to take our students to Minneapolis

1497
00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:01.689
to see an opera once a year,

1498
00:40:01.709 --> 00:40:03.750
and so I got a chance to share that with people.

1499
00:40:03.870 --> 00:40:04.989
So that was really exciting.

1500
00:40:05.020 --> 00:40:05.510
And then

1501
00:40:05.790 --> 00:40:07.110
I got to meet all kinds of people.

1502
00:40:07.270 --> 00:40:09.939
Barry Goldwater came to lunch with the Dean a couple of times,

1503
00:40:10.070 --> 00:40:11.330
we got to meet him,

1504
00:40:11.709 --> 00:40:12.340
and,

1505
00:40:12.350 --> 00:40:12.830
um,

1506
00:40:13.270 --> 00:40:16.040
there's always just really interesting people around,

1507
00:40:16.469 --> 00:40:18.330
and they're bringing lecturers in,

1508
00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:20.310
and if you have the chance to meet and talk to people,

1509
00:40:20.389 --> 00:40:21.830
that's just really cool.

1510
00:40:21.909 --> 00:40:23.770
I had a chance to do a lot of cool stuff like that.

1511
00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:24.820
Yeah,

1512
00:40:24.919 --> 00:40:26.780
definitely the centennial lectures and things like that.

1513
00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:29.820
I was part of GLAS my sophomore year and so we

1514
00:40:29.820 --> 00:40:32.239
would help organize those events and that was really fun.

1515
00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:32.959
Um,

1516
00:40:32.969 --> 00:40:33.399
and then

1517
00:40:33.540 --> 00:40:33.979
like you said,

1518
00:40:34.060 --> 00:40:34.840
like I think,

1519
00:40:34.899 --> 00:40:35.050
um,

1520
00:40:35.100 --> 00:40:38.219
it was former Senator John Kyle who came with a lunch with the dean

1521
00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:40.860
and they used to have students that get to talk to him and hang out

1522
00:40:40.979 --> 00:40:42.959
and it's a very casual environment and I think

1523
00:40:43.100 --> 00:40:44.500
that just is such a cool opportunity.

1524
00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:47.379
Uh,

1525
00:40:47.489 --> 00:40:48.340
kind of echoing that,

1526
00:40:48.379 --> 00:40:51.620
I know I took a class my sophomore year at Bearwood is.

1527
00:40:51.659 --> 00:40:54.159
It was an honors section on the history of the US presidency.

1528
00:40:54.540 --> 00:40:54.620
Um,

1529
00:40:54.699 --> 00:40:57.020
and it was like the coolest class in the world just in general,

1530
00:40:57.179 --> 00:40:57.389
but,

1531
00:40:57.860 --> 00:40:58.179
um,

1532
00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:59.379
over the course of that class,

1533
00:40:59.419 --> 00:41:01.610
our class was filmed for C-SPAN one day,

1534
00:41:01.689 --> 00:41:02.679
which was really cool,

1535
00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:03.419
and then

1536
00:41:03.699 --> 00:41:04.639
at another point,

1537
00:41:04.810 --> 00:41:05.379
John Dean,

1538
00:41:05.459 --> 00:41:07.780
who was one of the people most directly involved in the Watergate scandals,

1539
00:41:07.860 --> 00:41:08.860
was coming to Barrett,

1540
00:41:08.939 --> 00:41:09.100
um,

1541
00:41:09.209 --> 00:41:10.800
and so our class got to have dinner with him

1542
00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:14.100
and was like ask him questions and have a conversation with him,

1543
00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:15.239
and it's all of those like.

1544
00:41:15.899 --> 00:41:18.340
Little things where it's just like that was just one day in my life,

1545
00:41:18.419 --> 00:41:20.939
but that was a really incredible thing to get to do and it

1546
00:41:20.939 --> 00:41:23.520
was all because those are the connections that Barrett makes for you.

1547
00:41:25.110 --> 00:41:25.469
I,

1548
00:41:25.590 --> 00:41:28.709
I too remember going to some interesting lectures,

1549
00:41:28.770 --> 00:41:29.300
um,

1550
00:41:29.750 --> 00:41:32.929
both through Barrett and also just that would be

1551
00:41:33.149 --> 00:41:37.100
in the greater ASU but they would be advertised heavily in Barrett,

1552
00:41:37.110 --> 00:41:37.590
so

1553
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:39.590
you definitely come across the flyers,

1554
00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:40.620
um,

1555
00:41:41.040 --> 00:41:43.270
this is a bit of a loose interpretation of the question,

1556
00:41:43.350 --> 00:41:46.030
but it made me think of a life event for me which is

1557
00:41:46.149 --> 00:41:47.969
I met my fiance in the Barrettt,

1558
00:41:47.979 --> 00:41:48.100
uh,

1559
00:41:48.110 --> 00:41:48.879
dining hall,

1560
00:41:48.919 --> 00:41:49.110
so.

1561
00:41:49.959 --> 00:41:52.820
It's like kind of we'll always have a place in our relationship area,

1562
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:52.850
so

1563
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.199
we kind of joke about that sometimes,

1564
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:57.000
but it's true.

1565
00:41:57.870 --> 00:41:58.540
That's where we met,

1566
00:41:58.560 --> 00:41:58.570
so.

1567
00:42:00.010 --> 00:42:00.489
It's nice.

1568
00:42:01.879 --> 00:42:03.800
And then there's the social things too,

1569
00:42:03.919 --> 00:42:05.080
the experiences that you have.

1570
00:42:05.189 --> 00:42:06.199
There was one,

1571
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:07.320
there was one night,

1572
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:08.510
it was during finals,

1573
00:42:08.669 --> 00:42:09.320
and

1574
00:42:09.520 --> 00:42:11.600
um you woke up in the morning and the whole

1575
00:42:11.600 --> 00:42:14.580
sand volleyball court has been transformed into a kingdom,

1576
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.020
and there were like sand castles,

1577
00:42:17.399 --> 00:42:22.459
and they had dug out a river and like lined it with plastic so that water was in it

1578
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.719
and just over the course of finals,

1579
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:26.199
more buildings just popped.

1580
00:42:26.989 --> 00:42:28.800
Like nobody played volleyball

1581
00:42:28.989 --> 00:42:31.989
and everybody just kept building more stuff and so you would go

1582
00:42:31.989 --> 00:42:35.510
out every day and there'd just be more stuff in this volleyball court

1583
00:42:35.949 --> 00:42:36.379
and,

1584
00:42:36.389 --> 00:42:36.679
you know,

1585
00:42:36.820 --> 00:42:37.969
that just makes you,

1586
00:42:38.350 --> 00:42:41.899
it takes some of the stress off to just know that there are these creative,

1587
00:42:41.909 --> 00:42:43.040
interesting things going on,

1588
00:42:43.350 --> 00:42:44.949
even if you don't know what they are,

1589
00:42:45.030 --> 00:42:46.669
like they're happening all around you.

1590
00:42:47.830 --> 00:42:49.070
Not that I had anything to do with.

1591
00:42:53.020 --> 00:42:53.300
Um,

1592
00:42:53.459 --> 00:42:56.060
what do you think is the best thing that you took away from Bar?

1593
00:42:59.959 --> 00:43:00.120
Well,

1594
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:00.820
our spouses,

1595
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:01.459
apparently.

1596
00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:04.050
That's pretty good.

1597
00:43:04.100 --> 00:43:04.939
I didn't get that.

1598
00:43:05.060 --> 00:43:05.070
Like,

1599
00:43:05.659 --> 00:43:06.159
come on.

1600
00:43:07.010 --> 00:43:07.320
That's,

1601
00:43:07.409 --> 00:43:08.830
that's definitely my answer.

1602
00:43:11.010 --> 00:43:12.070
If it wasn't my answer,

1603
00:43:12.250 --> 00:43:13.129
that would be my answer.

1604
00:43:15.600 --> 00:43:16.110
Um,

1605
00:43:16.250 --> 00:43:16.370
yeah,

1606
00:43:16.449 --> 00:43:16.750
I mean,

1607
00:43:16.850 --> 00:43:17.399
I think,

1608
00:43:17.419 --> 00:43:17.929
uh,

1609
00:43:18.489 --> 00:43:18.610
yeah,

1610
00:43:18.729 --> 00:43:19.570
my fiance,

1611
00:43:19.689 --> 00:43:19.879
uh,

1612
00:43:20.010 --> 00:43:20.850
some really good friends.

1613
00:43:20.909 --> 00:43:21.290
I'm meeting,

1614
00:43:21.409 --> 00:43:23.149
I'm actually meeting up with a friend tonight,

1615
00:43:23.409 --> 00:43:23.909
um.

1616
00:43:24.709 --> 00:43:25.060
Who

1617
00:43:25.439 --> 00:43:26.110
I,

1618
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:26.429
uh,

1619
00:43:26.439 --> 00:43:28.510
was actually roommates with one year in Barrett,

1620
00:43:28.879 --> 00:43:29.580
um,

1621
00:43:30.120 --> 00:43:30.360
so yeah,

1622
00:43:30.479 --> 00:43:30.919
I think,

1623
00:43:30.959 --> 00:43:31.439
uh,

1624
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:33.260
I think it's really the

1625
00:43:33.560 --> 00:43:35.459
people and the relationships like

1626
00:43:35.899 --> 00:43:37.320
and even just here like seeing Chris,

1627
00:43:37.399 --> 00:43:37.639
like man,

1628
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:37.840
I,

1629
00:43:37.949 --> 00:43:40.439
I can't remember the last time I saw you just be like oh what's up Chris.

1630
00:43:41.540 --> 00:43:42.719
Michelle every once in a while,

1631
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:43.340
like,

1632
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:44.379
uh,

1633
00:43:44.770 --> 00:43:45.090
yeah,

1634
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:45.520
it's,

1635
00:43:45.560 --> 00:43:46.239
it's really,

1636
00:43:46.250 --> 00:43:46.780
uh,

1637
00:43:47.080 --> 00:43:50.520
I think that that is probably the biggest advantage of Barrett's size.

1638
00:43:50.600 --> 00:43:51.919
It's big enough where there's

1639
00:43:52.179 --> 00:43:53.199
someone for everyone,

1640
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.530
but it's also small enough where

1641
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:59.199
it has that smaller community and it's not too hard to strike up a conversation with.

1642
00:44:00.409 --> 00:44:00.620
Yeah,

1643
00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:03.439
I would also say like a willingness to give back

1644
00:44:03.899 --> 00:44:05.260
to that community or to,

1645
00:44:05.379 --> 00:44:05.929
to anyone,

1646
00:44:05.939 --> 00:44:06.139
you know,

1647
00:44:06.219 --> 00:44:08.429
who wants like kind of what you were saying earlier,

1648
00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:09.419
um,

1649
00:44:09.820 --> 00:44:10.439
but just

1650
00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:11.300
to be,

1651
00:44:11.580 --> 00:44:11.739
you know,

1652
00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:15.219
open to bringing new people into your community I think is a big thing that I,

1653
00:44:15.629 --> 00:44:15.649
you know,

1654
00:44:15.659 --> 00:44:17.080
as someone who's searching for

1655
00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:17.610
like a,

1656
00:44:17.659 --> 00:44:18.899
a group of people like that,

1657
00:44:19.260 --> 00:44:19.739
um,

1658
00:44:20.139 --> 00:44:20.439
now,

1659
00:44:20.899 --> 00:44:21.100
you know,

1660
00:44:21.139 --> 00:44:23.300
I'm like still happy obviously to talk to honor students.

1661
00:44:23.340 --> 00:44:24.909
I don't think they're as interested now that I'm

1662
00:44:25.110 --> 00:44:26.290
a graduate student and like.

1663
00:44:27.330 --> 00:44:27.719
But like,

1664
00:44:27.729 --> 00:44:27.889
you know,

1665
00:44:27.969 --> 00:44:29.120
if a potential student wanted to talk,

1666
00:44:29.169 --> 00:44:31.889
I'd be happy to tell them about the anthropology program and give them a tour and,

1667
00:44:32.270 --> 00:44:32.820
um,

1668
00:44:33.050 --> 00:44:34.770
and then to treat other people that same way,

1669
00:44:34.850 --> 00:44:35.050
you know,

1670
00:44:35.169 --> 00:44:35.889
to be inclusive,

1671
00:44:35.969 --> 00:44:36.370
to

1672
00:44:36.610 --> 00:44:38.530
invite people to come do things with you and,

1673
00:44:38.610 --> 00:44:40.389
and your friends or your colleagues,

1674
00:44:40.649 --> 00:44:40.959
um,

1675
00:44:40.969 --> 00:44:41.870
I think that's a big part

1676
00:44:42.129 --> 00:44:45.080
of what it is and especially a big part of what Honors Devils was,

1677
00:44:45.489 --> 00:44:45.929
for sure.

1678
00:44:47.060 --> 00:44:49.590
And also I think that like genuine love for learning,

1679
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:51.120
I think a lot of students have,

1680
00:44:51.439 --> 00:44:51.600
um,

1681
00:44:51.610 --> 00:44:52.389
which really starts,

1682
00:44:52.399 --> 00:44:55.610
I would say for me it started with the human event like maybe this isn't your major,

1683
00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:55.989
but

1684
00:44:56.199 --> 00:44:59.659
we genuinely want you to care about these different issues and taking that

1685
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:01.760
not just for your 4 years but going forward no

1686
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:03.600
matter what you're doing or if you change your mind,

1687
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:04.199
change your major,

1688
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:05.030
change your career,

1689
00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:07.679
you genuinely want to learn something new and I think

1690
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.000
Barrett students all kind of fall under that umbrella.

1691
00:45:12.449 --> 00:45:13.030
I think,

1692
00:45:13.330 --> 00:45:13.489
again,

1693
00:45:13.610 --> 00:45:16.929
the people in the relationships are the biggest takeaway for me because those

1694
00:45:16.929 --> 00:45:18.649
are something that I'll have for the whole rest of my life,

1695
00:45:18.729 --> 00:45:20.830
all of the relationships that I made here at Bart's.

1696
00:45:21.129 --> 00:45:21.590
Um,

1697
00:45:21.949 --> 00:45:25.250
I think that Barrett also does a lot just to prepare you for whatever.

1698
00:45:26.409 --> 00:45:26.729
Future,

1699
00:45:26.810 --> 00:45:28.689
I think that Barrett did a lot in terms of the

1700
00:45:28.689 --> 00:45:32.169
extracurriculars I was involved in to prepare me for future life,

1701
00:45:32.449 --> 00:45:32.639
um,

1702
00:45:32.729 --> 00:45:35.189
and then academically Barrett makes sure that you're ready.

1703
00:45:35.290 --> 00:45:36.010
Like you're not

1704
00:45:36.370 --> 00:45:40.330
just taking honors classes to have more academic rigor to read more.

1705
00:45:40.370 --> 00:45:40.810
Like there's,

1706
00:45:40.919 --> 00:45:42.189
there's a very good purpose

1707
00:45:42.489 --> 00:45:44.250
to what you're doing and the things you're

1708
00:45:44.250 --> 00:45:45.729
doing for Barrett in those honors classes,

1709
00:45:45.770 --> 00:45:46.290
and they're meant.

1710
00:45:46.770 --> 00:45:47.810
To prepare you to go forward,

1711
00:45:47.850 --> 00:45:47.959
like,

1712
00:45:47.969 --> 00:45:49.889
I know for a lot of people writing a thesis or

1713
00:45:49.889 --> 00:45:52.729
their creative project is the next step into grad school.

1714
00:45:52.969 --> 00:45:53.250
Um,

1715
00:45:53.409 --> 00:45:54.810
for me it was more of like just a

1716
00:45:54.810 --> 00:45:57.129
passion project but something that I feel like has prepared

1717
00:45:57.129 --> 00:45:59.729
me to still have academic conversations and to be able

1718
00:45:59.729 --> 00:46:01.530
to talk to people about those kinds of things.

1719
00:46:01.649 --> 00:46:01.959
So

1720
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:02.489
Barry,

1721
00:46:02.570 --> 00:46:02.879
I think,

1722
00:46:03.129 --> 00:46:06.070
gives you all the relationships and very literally prepares you for your future.

1723
00:46:07.850 --> 00:46:08.350
So,

1724
00:46:08.469 --> 00:46:08.770
Doug,

1725
00:46:08.929 --> 00:46:09.120
um,

1726
00:46:09.169 --> 00:46:10.209
when you met your fiance,

1727
00:46:10.610 --> 00:46:11.429
did you just start talking?

1728
00:46:12.989 --> 00:46:13.030
hall or

1729
00:46:15.100 --> 00:46:17.139
or it's kind of a funny story actually.

1730
00:46:17.300 --> 00:46:18.899
I'll try not to get too long a version,

1731
00:46:18.979 --> 00:46:19.320
but

1732
00:46:19.620 --> 00:46:22.659
she actually came up and struck a conversation up with me

1733
00:46:22.939 --> 00:46:24.340
and just as like a total idiot,

1734
00:46:24.379 --> 00:46:24.899
I thought she,

1735
00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:26.610
I was wearing a shirt that said Dayton,

1736
00:46:26.659 --> 00:46:27.699
which is where she was born,

1737
00:46:27.709 --> 00:46:29.040
and my parents went to school there.

1738
00:46:29.379 --> 00:46:29.979
And so she's like,

1739
00:46:30.060 --> 00:46:30.219
Oh,

1740
00:46:30.300 --> 00:46:31.100
are you from Dayton?

1741
00:46:31.139 --> 00:46:31.620
And I was just like,

1742
00:46:31.699 --> 00:46:32.100
oh no,

1743
00:46:32.179 --> 00:46:34.719
but my parents went to school there and I just went back to my like

1744
00:46:34.979 --> 00:46:35.939
meal with my friends.

1745
00:46:37.649 --> 00:46:37.659
And

1746
00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:41.709
then and that was so I was in the dining hall and then a year later it was like

1747
00:46:41.810 --> 00:46:43.929
midnight or something finals week and I've

1748
00:46:43.929 --> 00:46:45.600
just been like studying in the dining hall

1749
00:46:45.600 --> 00:46:49.489
after class and I saw this gorgeous woman walking and I was like looking at her

1750
00:46:49.770 --> 00:46:50.929
and then she saw me and I was like,

1751
00:46:50.969 --> 00:46:51.330
oh my God,

1752
00:46:51.370 --> 00:46:53.189
I was totally staring that was really bad

1753
00:46:53.489 --> 00:46:55.949
and then I looked up and she was still smiling at me

1754
00:46:56.050 --> 00:46:56.419
and I was like,

1755
00:46:56.439 --> 00:46:56.820
OK,

1756
00:46:56.969 --> 00:46:57.429
so,

1757
00:46:58.129 --> 00:46:59.100
and then uh

1758
00:46:59.290 --> 00:47:01.870
I saw her again like a week later and then we started talking.

1759
00:47:02.449 --> 00:47:03.560
And probably like

1760
00:47:03.739 --> 00:47:04.419
a year later,

1761
00:47:04.500 --> 00:47:04.659
she,

1762
00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:05.699
she recognized me,

1763
00:47:05.820 --> 00:47:06.159
but

1764
00:47:06.820 --> 00:47:09.530
it wasn't until like 6 months later or something that she was like,

1765
00:47:09.580 --> 00:47:09.729
oh,

1766
00:47:09.780 --> 00:47:11.959
I think I maybe met you one time and like

1767
00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:12.979
now she's like,

1768
00:47:13.060 --> 00:47:13.100
yeah,

1769
00:47:13.179 --> 00:47:15.100
I totally knew who you were the whole time.

1770
00:47:16.399 --> 00:47:19.620
It really was in the dining hall that we met like several times,

1771
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.479
so yeah.

1772
00:47:22.709 --> 00:47:22.729
So funny.

1773
00:47:22.810 --> 00:47:23.810
How did you and your husband?

1774
00:47:24.810 --> 00:47:26.000
Mine is the worst story.

1775
00:47:26.050 --> 00:47:27.409
I was dating his roommate.

1776
00:47:31.010 --> 00:47:31.389
Oh

1777
00:47:34.290 --> 00:47:36.239
We were sort of like the three Musketeers,

1778
00:47:36.250 --> 00:47:39.330
like we did everything together and um we

1779
00:47:39.330 --> 00:47:41.040
had all the same friend group and everything,

1780
00:47:41.129 --> 00:47:41.600
so

1781
00:47:41.889 --> 00:47:46.070
the first relationship obviously didn't work out after I graduated from college

1782
00:47:46.530 --> 00:47:50.530
and it was much later we had just remained friends and we were both

1783
00:47:50.530 --> 00:47:53.750
single at the same time and we decided to see if it would work.

1784
00:47:54.520 --> 00:47:57.590
And we hid it from all the rest of our friends in case it didn't because we didn't want

1785
00:47:58.360 --> 00:47:59.360
anything to get weird.

1786
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:00.469
Um,

1787
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:00.840
yeah,

1788
00:48:00.919 --> 00:48:02.320
and then we ended up,

1789
00:48:02.439 --> 00:48:02.560
yeah,

1790
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:03.540
we ended up getting married.

1791
00:48:04.979 --> 00:48:04.989
Um,

1792
00:48:06.820 --> 00:48:08.760
where do you see Barrett in 10 years?

1793
00:48:11.939 --> 00:48:12.639
More buildings

1794
00:48:14.870 --> 00:48:16.540
Definitely

1795
00:48:17.169 --> 00:48:17.260
more buildings.

1796
00:48:17.350 --> 00:48:18.760
The whole Tempe campus will be there.

1797
00:48:19.909 --> 00:48:23.409
Everybody else gets shoved off to like the other campuses.

1798
00:48:28.600 --> 00:48:29.540
I I don't know,

1799
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:29.840
I mean,

1800
00:48:29.919 --> 00:48:30.739
I hope,

1801
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:31.879
whatever it is,

1802
00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:35.320
I hope it'll have the same core to it.

1803
00:48:36.149 --> 00:48:36.770
I,

1804
00:48:37.070 --> 00:48:37.560
you know,

1805
00:48:37.750 --> 00:48:38.760
I see.

1806
00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:44.689
Students are changing and students are more and more involved now,

1807
00:48:44.889 --> 00:48:45.469
um,

1808
00:48:45.689 --> 00:48:48.189
with so many things and there's so many demands on their time.

1809
00:48:48.929 --> 00:48:50.629
And I hope that

1810
00:48:50.929 --> 00:48:53.489
this will continue to create a community where

1811
00:48:53.489 --> 00:48:56.169
people come together and do things in person.

1812
00:48:56.929 --> 00:48:57.649
Um,

1813
00:48:57.689 --> 00:49:00.850
and create that kind of community of support and everything because

1814
00:49:00.850 --> 00:49:04.070
I think we need it in a world where there's so much

1815
00:49:04.850 --> 00:49:07.189
demanding our time all the time.

1816
00:49:07.209 --> 00:49:10.310
It's important to have something that you can go back to and be like,

1817
00:49:10.830 --> 00:49:10.929
yeah,

1818
00:49:11.040 --> 00:49:13.620
we stayed up until 2 in the morning talking about.

1819
00:49:14.870 --> 00:49:17.020
Whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not,

1820
00:49:17.139 --> 00:49:17.610
you know,

1821
00:49:18.010 --> 00:49:21.560
like these are important conversations that you need to have with people,

1822
00:49:22.540 --> 00:49:23.050
and,

1823
00:49:23.389 --> 00:49:27.040
and those are the kinds of things that I think build those relationships.

1824
00:49:27.060 --> 00:49:29.020
And so as long as that keeps happening,

1825
00:49:29.100 --> 00:49:29.679
I think

1826
00:49:29.860 --> 00:49:30.139
it'll,

1827
00:49:30.219 --> 00:49:31.159
it'll stay strong,

1828
00:49:31.969 --> 00:49:31.979
yeah.

1829
00:49:34.129 --> 00:49:37.510
I see Barrett as a good model for

1830
00:49:37.929 --> 00:49:40.679
how to prepare students for the future.

1831
00:49:40.770 --> 00:49:42.370
Like when I think of very

1832
00:49:42.810 --> 00:49:44.330
future oriented,

1833
00:49:44.370 --> 00:49:44.879
uh,

1834
00:49:45.050 --> 00:49:46.610
technologies or industries,

1835
00:49:46.689 --> 00:49:48.389
I see a lot of Barrett students in there

1836
00:49:48.729 --> 00:49:51.179
while still maintaining this component of

1837
00:49:51.370 --> 00:49:52.689
a liberal arts education,

1838
00:49:52.729 --> 00:49:53.129
as you said,

1839
00:49:53.570 --> 00:49:54.790
everyone takes a human event.

1840
00:49:55.129 --> 00:49:56.270
Like you still

1841
00:49:56.610 --> 00:49:57.479
get that,

1842
00:49:57.489 --> 00:49:57.979
uh,

1843
00:49:58.169 --> 00:50:00.050
foundational education that.

1844
00:50:00.449 --> 00:50:04.429
I think maybe some people that go straight into tech or these more um.

1845
00:50:05.270 --> 00:50:07.219
Advanced industry type things,

1846
00:50:07.590 --> 00:50:08.350
there's no,

1847
00:50:08.550 --> 00:50:10.899
they don't see any reason to bother with that,

1848
00:50:10.989 --> 00:50:12.750
but Barrett forces

1849
00:50:12.949 --> 00:50:15.429
you to do that or offers the opportunity depending

1850
00:50:15.429 --> 00:50:16.909
on where you're at as an 18 year old,

1851
00:50:16.959 --> 00:50:17.260
but

1852
00:50:17.510 --> 00:50:18.179
I think that's a,

1853
00:50:18.270 --> 00:50:20.330
that's a really good thing and that

1854
00:50:20.550 --> 00:50:22.969
um I would think Barrett would continue to lead

1855
00:50:23.169 --> 00:50:26.270
in in that sense of providing those opportunities while also maintaining.

1856
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:28.669
liberal arts background.

1857
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:32.350
I mean,

1858
00:50:32.399 --> 00:50:32.959
I was just gonna say,

1859
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:34.060
I hope it doesn't change too much.

1860
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:34.399
That's,

1861
00:50:34.439 --> 00:50:35.679
I think that's exactly what I've said,

1862
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:36.020
but

1863
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:36.360
I,

1864
00:50:36.469 --> 00:50:36.679
you know,

1865
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:37.629
I hope it kind of,

1866
00:50:37.959 --> 00:50:38.199
I think,

1867
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:39.270
I hope it retains the,

1868
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:40.760
the same sense of community,

1869
00:50:41.110 --> 00:50:41.739
um,

1870
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:42.780
despite.

1871
00:50:43.770 --> 00:50:46.649
What is probably a very likely growth in size,

1872
00:50:47.050 --> 00:50:47.610
um,

1873
00:50:47.929 --> 00:50:48.090
but yeah,

1874
00:50:48.129 --> 00:50:49.649
I hope it maintains the same community.

1875
00:50:49.729 --> 00:50:51.489
I hope it maintains the same values.

1876
00:50:51.850 --> 00:50:52.060
Um,

1877
00:50:52.179 --> 00:50:52.949
the human event

1878
00:50:53.330 --> 00:50:55.310
was simultaneously one of the most painful and

1879
00:50:55.610 --> 00:50:57.709
and engaging experiences I've had,

1880
00:50:58.129 --> 00:50:58.629
um,

1881
00:50:58.810 --> 00:50:59.669
as a person,

1882
00:51:00.770 --> 00:51:01.429
I think,

1883
00:51:01.729 --> 00:51:02.199
um,

1884
00:51:02.449 --> 00:51:04.110
so I mean I hope it doesn't change too much.

1885
00:51:07.709 --> 00:51:08.100
Awesome.

1886
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:10.959
Thank you so much for um sharing your experiences and stories.

1887
00:51:11.110 --> 00:51:11.270
Um,

1888
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.820
is there any other stories or just

1889
00:51:14.030 --> 00:51:15.080
personal things that you would like?

1890
00:51:18.739 --> 00:51:19.439
There are so many

1891
00:51:19.590 --> 00:51:19.969
stories.

1892
00:51:20.030 --> 00:51:20.370
I know I'm like,

1893
00:51:21.969 --> 00:51:23.689
you probably shouldn't tell all of them on camera.

1894
00:51:30.050 --> 00:51:33.110
I just think that Barrett offers so much to its students and has

1895
00:51:33.449 --> 00:51:35.169
provided so many opportunities that I think

1896
00:51:35.169 --> 00:51:37.510
us as honors doubles and former honors doubles

1897
00:51:37.689 --> 00:51:37.850
can,

1898
00:51:37.929 --> 00:51:41.709
it's like the least we can do is to give back and do tours and talk about

1899
00:51:42.010 --> 00:51:44.629
like things like this and talk about how much we love the college because

1900
00:51:44.810 --> 00:51:45.669
it really has

1901
00:51:46.090 --> 00:51:47.489
shaped our future in our lives.

1902
00:51:47.530 --> 00:51:50.469
And so if I can take an hour of my day and help someone else

1903
00:51:50.810 --> 00:51:51.290
join Barrett.

1904
00:51:53.989 --> 00:51:56.649
I think what what characterizes people

1905
00:51:56.909 --> 00:51:57.409
in

1906
00:51:57.550 --> 00:51:59.639
Barrett is you start things,

1907
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:00.030
right?

1908
00:52:00.110 --> 00:52:01.699
Like you see a need and you're like,

1909
00:52:01.870 --> 00:52:03.790
you don't wait for somebody else to do it,

1910
00:52:03.989 --> 00:52:04.850
you just do it.

1911
00:52:05.110 --> 00:52:05.830
And so,

1912
00:52:05.949 --> 00:52:06.379
you know,

1913
00:52:06.610 --> 00:52:09.290
that's how I started Honors Devils and that's how

1914
00:52:09.550 --> 00:52:11.260
my friend Brent started Sparky's Buddies,

1915
00:52:11.270 --> 00:52:14.139
and that's how somebody else started Blast and that's,

1916
00:52:14.429 --> 00:52:14.969
so

1917
00:52:15.350 --> 00:52:19.479
we were always the ones who were looking for a place to do something.

1918
00:52:19.889 --> 00:52:20.469
And

1919
00:52:20.969 --> 00:52:25.810
that I think is really also essential to the core of what Barrett is all about is

1920
00:52:26.129 --> 00:52:26.510
people

1921
00:52:27.250 --> 00:52:28.110
seeing a need

1922
00:52:28.330 --> 00:52:30.229
in the world or in their community

1923
00:52:30.449 --> 00:52:31.489
or in Barrett

1924
00:52:31.850 --> 00:52:32.489
and saying,

1925
00:52:32.610 --> 00:52:35.129
I can do something about that and like actually doing it.

1926
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:36.399
Yeah,

1927
00:52:36.439 --> 00:52:38.219
I don't think any of us would give tours

1928
00:52:38.469 --> 00:52:40.479
of somewhere or a place that we didn't,

1929
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:41.080
you know,

1930
00:52:41.310 --> 00:52:41.919
really believe in,

1931
00:52:41.989 --> 00:52:42.129
right?

1932
00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:43.379
Like that wouldn't make any sense.

1933
00:52:43.520 --> 00:52:43.889
So

1934
00:52:44.090 --> 00:52:44.199
I,

1935
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:45.139
I think it's a testament

1936
00:52:45.399 --> 00:52:46.270
to bear it that,

1937
00:52:46.439 --> 00:52:47.340
that Ivy just

1938
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:48.340
saw this demand.

1939
00:52:48.439 --> 00:52:48.800
It was like,

1940
00:52:48.860 --> 00:52:49.080
wow,

1941
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:49.919
we need this,

1942
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:50.659
and that it's

1943
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:51.780
kept going for so long

1944
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:53.439
and that people are happy to do it,

1945
00:52:53.520 --> 00:52:53.679
right,

1946
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:53.739
that,

1947
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:53.969
that,

1948
00:52:54.100 --> 00:52:54.639
that

1949
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:57.199
it's still something we enjoy talking about and thinking about.

1950
00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:57.679
So

1951
00:52:58.370 --> 00:52:59.239
competitive to be a tour guide.

1952
00:52:59.310 --> 00:53:00.300
That's exactly right.

1953
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:02.500
We're pretty excellent.

1954
00:53:03.149 --> 00:53:03.159
It

1955
00:53:03.550 --> 00:53:04.090
says a lot

1956
00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:05.310
that

1957
00:53:05.610 --> 00:53:07.149
floored me when I found that out,

1958
00:53:07.899 --> 00:53:07.909
actually,

1959
00:53:07.919 --> 00:53:08.629
but I was just like,

1960
00:53:08.750 --> 00:53:08.909
wait,

1961
00:53:08.969 --> 00:53:10.620
people compete to be an honors student.

1962
00:53:12.070 --> 00:53:13.429
You don't just put shirts on them.

1963
00:53:14.379 --> 00:53:17.340
We had this whole like idea we were this

1964
00:53:17.340 --> 00:53:21.169
sort of loose collective like we didn't have officers,

1965
00:53:21.179 --> 00:53:21.340
you know,

1966
00:53:21.419 --> 00:53:24.459
we had like a panel of chair people and all

1967
00:53:24.459 --> 00:53:27.639
this other stuff we had a we had an executive committee

1968
00:53:28.300 --> 00:53:32.239
instead of having officers like we were very much like we want to be the most

1969
00:53:32.530 --> 00:53:34.360
egalitarian sort of

1970
00:53:35.250 --> 00:53:37.100
organization that we can and so,

1971
00:53:37.379 --> 00:53:37.580
you know,

1972
00:53:37.860 --> 00:53:38.409
but it's still,

1973
00:53:38.419 --> 00:53:39.639
there's certain people who end up doing

1974
00:53:39.860 --> 00:53:40.330
the work,

1975
00:53:40.340 --> 00:53:41.000
um.

1976
00:53:42.060 --> 00:53:42.620
But

1977
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:43.080
it is,

1978
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:44.699
it's to see

1979
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.489
that it has grown and that it's so important and

1980
00:53:47.489 --> 00:53:49.760
people like come back with their memories and stuff,

1981
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:50.719
it's just so cool,

1982
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:51.800
it makes me feel like.

1983
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:53.689
I have a legacy here,

1984
00:53:53.770 --> 00:53:54.000
you know,

1985
00:53:54.090 --> 00:53:55.310
no matter what else I do.

1986
00:53:56.100 --> 00:53:56.500
That

1987
00:53:56.899 --> 00:53:57.810
all these happy honors.

1988
00:54:03.120 --> 00:54:03.439
Joshua,

1989
00:54:03.479 --> 00:54:03.719
did you have

1990
00:54:04.389 --> 00:54:04.750
Questions?

1991
00:54:06.449 --> 00:54:06.689
Well,

1992
00:54:06.850 --> 00:54:08.949
thank you so much for your time

1993
00:54:09.330 --> 00:54:09.939
um

1994
00:54:10.429 --> 00:54:10.790
innovation

1995
00:54:12.399 --> 00:54:12.669
we need.

1996
00:54:13.709 --> 00:54:13.919
Uh oh,

1997
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:15.239
we need to say specific things.

1998
00:54:15.600 --> 00:54:15.750
Oh,

1999
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:16.199
no.

2000
00:54:17.120 --> 00:54:17.219
Uh,

2001
00:54:17.270 --> 00:54:18.889
it's supposed to be the ASU aspect.

2002
00:54:19.219 --> 00:54:19.739
All I,

2003
00:54:19.989 --> 00:54:21.389
all I need is.

2004
00:54:22.790 --> 00:54:23.570
Since there's

2005
00:54:23.830 --> 00:54:24.429
2 guys,

2006
00:54:24.510 --> 00:54:25.870
I need 2 guys and 2 girls,

2007
00:54:25.909 --> 00:54:26.870
and you guys can

2008
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:28.969
volunteer between the three of you.

2009
00:54:29.590 --> 00:54:30.060
We,

2010
00:54:30.949 --> 00:54:35.270
we're kind of using as the pillars of our video for Innovation Day is

2011
00:54:35.790 --> 00:54:38.850
because we're highlighting the 30th anniversary of Barrett and everything,

2012
00:54:39.300 --> 00:54:39.709
um.

2013
00:54:40.770 --> 00:54:41.429
We are

2014
00:54:41.570 --> 00:54:43.449
kind of building it around Barrett is innovative.

2015
00:54:43.600 --> 00:54:44.639
Barrett is community.

2016
00:54:44.889 --> 00:54:45.639
Barrett is excellence.

2017
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:46.770
Barrett is global.

2018
00:54:47.129 --> 00:54:49.229
So what I need is for one of you,

2019
00:54:49.409 --> 00:54:53.649
for like you to say Barrett is innovative and kind of speaking right into the mic,

2020
00:54:53.969 --> 00:54:55.629
and we're gonna kind of use that at

2021
00:54:55.739 --> 00:54:57.659
your voice over a graphic that we're,

2022
00:54:58.010 --> 00:54:58.530
we're putting.

2023
00:54:58.689 --> 00:54:59.229
So

2024
00:54:59.729 --> 00:55:02.169
I just need you guys to record this,

2025
00:55:02.209 --> 00:55:02.620
and that's,

2026
00:55:02.689 --> 00:55:04.110
that's what we'll take from you guys.

2027
00:55:04.649 --> 00:55:05.560
Can I say innovative?

2028
00:55:05.810 --> 00:55:06.719
Barrett is innovative,

2029
00:55:06.770 --> 00:55:07.010
yeah,

2030
00:55:07.590 --> 00:55:07.600
and,

2031
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:08.290
and we will,

2032
00:55:08.449 --> 00:55:08.989
we're not gonna

2033
00:55:09.449 --> 00:55:09.810
necessarily care,

2034
00:55:09.929 --> 00:55:11.550
so we want it as clear and

2035
00:55:11.729 --> 00:55:12.510
speak into the mic,

2036
00:55:13.209 --> 00:55:13.330
you know,

2037
00:55:13.449 --> 00:55:14.310
say it with authority,

2038
00:55:14.530 --> 00:55:14.610
not,

2039
00:55:14.689 --> 00:55:16.169
