Barrett offers students “the best of both worlds”; a caring, supportive 4-year residential community for academically motivated undergraduate students surrounded by a highly ranked Research I university with broad resources. Since its inception in 1988, Barrett has grown into a pride point and added-value center of ASU. Barrett has helped elevate academic standards for the entire university by attracting and admitting the best and brightest, including National Merit Scholars. Barrett students routinely win nationally and internationally competed for scholarships. Barrett students uphold a reputation of excellence; many of them are student community leaders, inventors, change makers, and entrepreneurs.

Along with ASU, Barrett is on a journey with a clear destination: through Campaign ASU 2020, we will become a public university of impact for our students, our state, and our future. Everything is in place for ASU believers and supporters to power a once-in-a-generation leap forward. Together we will ensure access for all deserving students. We will build the strength of our faculty as we foster discovery, creativity, and innovation across disciplines. We will use ASU talents and resources to be a force for social progress and economic growth. And we will drive Sun Devil competitiveness on and off the court and field. The reimagined, reenergized, rebuilt, remarkable future of ASU begins here and now. Join us.

In this campaign we will focus on student scholarships, global citizenship, faculty support, and building an honors student success center.
