Points of Pride


Soaring to the top
Barry University graduates had the second highest quarterly mean and median earnings ($46,135 and $39,404 respectively) of all the ICUF institutions. The Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida (ICUF) is a diverse association of 28 private, not-for-profit, educational institutions all based in Florida and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (SACS). Each year ICUF requires institutions to submit a file of graduates for FETPIP (Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program) for follow-up on employment earnings. 
Barry University has been named “Best Private University or College” in South Florida CEO magazine. The ranking is part of a South Florida “Best in Business” list compiled for the magazine’s Jan. 2007 issue from an online reader survey. The listing calls attention to Barry’s Catholic heritage and the number of programs offered. In addition, it highlights Barry’s recent U.S. News and World Reportranking as No. 1 for student diversity among southern schools of the same size.
Forty-six percent of BU’s incoming fall 2006 class represented first-generation college students (first in their immediate family to attend an institution of higher education). This figure is well above the national average of 30 percent for first-generation enrolled in four-year private colleges.

Student-run
The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services organized the first-ever Domestic Violence Awareness Month in November 2007. The month is now being used as a model for other universities hoping to raise awareness of domestic violence. Run in collaboration with Women in Distress of Broward County, the month of awareness featured a domestic violence survivors’ panel, the national clothesline project, an international domestic violence education forum, a “baby shower” to collect items for women’s shelters throughout South Florida and a candlelight vigil in memory of Barry professor Dr. Marie DesRosiers and all victims of domestic violence.
The university has replaced its shuttle bus system for commuter students with a battery-powered tram. The tram is the only one of its kind at a university in South Florida, and cuts operating costs from $1.43 to $.10 a mile. The vehicle, which was purchased from Florida Electric and Gas Vehicles, replaces a diesel-powered bus, and is a zero-emission vehicle. It transports students between the commuter parking lot and the Landon Student Union, running on an already existing paved track that has been optimized for this purpose.
During Spring Break (March 2-8) more than 15 students travelled from Barry University in Miami  Shores to New Orleans, where they helped gut St. Mary’s Academy High School, which was flooded during Hurricane Katrina and is now scheduled to be demolished.

A group of nine Barry University students spent their spring break performing community service in Atlanta, volunteering for two days at the Atlanta Children’s Shelter, which is home to more than 40 children, all under the age of five. Many of these children come from families headed by a single-mother and have become homeless as the result of domestic violence. The shelter assists these families by providing clothing, career assistance and temporary housing.
