Robert and Beryl Barr Education Doctoral Fellowship

The Robert and Beryl Barr Education Doctoral Fellowship was established in 2019. Dr. Robert Barr considers his time as Dean of the College of Education at Boise State University as some of the most fulfilling years of his professional career. Dr. Barr is proud to have had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of leading the efforts to receive Idaho State Board approval for Boise State University’s first doctoral program. During his tenure in the College of Education, Dr. Barr also helped create and achieve Idaho State Board approval for the Center for School Improvement and the Center for Multicultural and Educational Opportunities. Dr. Barr believes that each of those three developments provided a strong foundation for the future development of Boise State’s College of Education that continues to make contributions to education throughout the State of Idaho and also nation-wide. Beryl Barr retired from the Idaho State Library as a Reference Librarian where she provided direct services at the Idaho Legislature. She has been a tireless supporter for Boise State and for deserving women and minority students. Robert and Beryl are excited to continue to support the College of Education and specifically doctoral students at Boise State University.
