SPECIFIC TEXT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED: REMOVE Barrett, the Honors College has had its roots at Arizona State University as long as the University has been a university. From 1958, when ASU became a university by a statewide popular vote, to 1988, honors programs existed throughout the University's departments and schools. On July 16, 1988, the Arizona Board of Regents created the ASU University Honors College, which was known by the Honor College. Dr. Ted Humphrey, who had earlier directed the university's honors program, become the founding Dean of Barrett. After six years and being one of the few honors colleges in the country, the honors college was named by Money Magazine as one of the top eight honors programs in the United States. In 2000, the then-CEO of Intel, Craig Barrett and his wife Barbara, who is an ASU alumna, gave the college an endowment of $10 million. Because this was one of the largest gifts ASU had received at the time, the college was renamed Barrett, The Honors College.

SPECIFIC TEXT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED: REMOVE The Human Event started at Arizona State University in 1977 and has been a part of the Honors Curriculum ever since. The concept for The Human Event was conceived by physicist Richard Jacob, who was also the Director of the Honors Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU, in the late 1970s. Dr. Richard Jacob was inspired by The Ascent of Man, a Jacob Bronowski's BBC series about the development of Western culture and wanted to offer a similar experience to his honors students. Dr. Jacob reached out to the chair of philosophy, who was Dr. Ted Humphrey, to develop a two-semester freshman seminar which is now known as The Human Event. Dr. Humphrey combined his experience of teaching a replica of the University of Chicago's Great Books of the Western World and Columbia University's great ideas course.

SPECIFIC TEXT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED: REMOVE For being around close to half a century, The Human Event has gone though its own phases. Today, the course follows no set theme. Mainly, themes and topics are generated by class discussions. However, students are recommended to take courses with particular Honors Faculty if they want to gain insight from the faculty's perspective. In a short-lived experiment starting in 2007, the Human Event was split into three focuses, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. However, this ended in 2013 as it introduced more problems than it solved.

SPECIFIC TEXT TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED: REMOVE Student life for those in Barrett is much like any other student attending ASU; however, there are some resources available that require Honors status. The positives to living within these facilities are easy access to Honors-only seminars such as the required Human Event classes, as well as access to the Honors writing center and computing center. Along with this, Barrett residents can purchase meal plans for the Barrett Dining Hall, a unique on-campus dining experience. Additionally, Honors Hall houses a small exercise gym, a coffee shop, a 24-hour help desk, a computer lab, and a lounge area open to those living in the residence halls. Compared to other residence halls at ASU, relatively high numbers of students return to live in the Barrett complex as upperclassmen despite the high cost. Furthermore, Barrett students, along with NCAA athletes and students with disabilities, get to register for classes a week before all other students.
