Building Bridges: Discovering Ways to Connect Barrett Students with Barrett Summer Scholars Alumni to Increase Academic Success
No full textabstract: Through interviews with student participants in Barrett Summer Scholars during 2012, I uncovered how education in Arizona is failing and succeeding in meeting the needs of its high-achieving, oftentimes academically disillusioned students. Many high-achieving students feel underserved by their education and do not receive adequate challenges or one-on-one attention. Socioeconomic, ethnic, and racial limitations further contribute to the disenchantment of students and educational inequalities in the US and Arizona in particular. The Barrett Summer Scholars program itself intends to help engage these students, but it may be failing in its stated goals. Limited resources make it difficult for schools to pay as much attention to the high-achieving students as to the low-achieving, but Barrett might be able to help bridge this gap and provide students with one-on-one attention by way of student mentorship

University College Groningen Exchange Vlog for Barrett
No full textabstract: University College Groningen, in the Netherlands, is one of two Barrett Exchange programs. These programs allow for Barrett students to receive honors credit for their classes while studying abroad. While these programs are intriguing, there are no resources on the Barrett website that provide student accounts of the experiences. For the UCG exchange, there was only a link to the UCG website which was not extremely helpful for getting an understanding of what you will truly be getting yourself into while abroad. The solution that was decided upon was to create a vlog website for Barrett students to use as a resource when looking into the program. The site contains both person experiences from students, as well has helpful tips and tricks of how to maneuver your stay in the Netherlands. Overall, there were 8 videos created and 9 posts that can be used as resources for future Barrett students. The ‘Who are We?’, ‘Why a Barrett Exchange?’, ‘First Impressions and Adjusting to the Dutch Lifestyle’, and ‘Welcome Weeks’ posts contain testimony from two other Barrett students and myself who went on the exchange during the Fall, 2018 semester. The ‘Vistmarkt’ and ‘UCG Tour’ posts contain videos that show students places they will be able to venture to in the Netherlands. The ‘Travels Tips’ and ‘UCG Curriculum’ posts contain videos that have numerous tips for students who choose this exchange as their study abroad program they wish to participate in. The final post is called ‘Next Steps’ and it is meant for future students who wish to update and extend the knowledge that is presents on the website so that students can get the most up-to-date information. This website was created to give Barrett students a better understanding of the life-changing experience they are about to embark on
