Park Wynn said he has goals to benefit the student body as vice president of the Student Association at Mississippi State University in the upcoming school year.
As former commissioner of elections and member of the senate, this junior political science major has had his fair share of experience in his time at MSU and said he hopes to make the transition to vice president smoothly.
Wynn said he feels he has big shoes to fill, namely those of last year’s vice president, Halston Hales.
“Halston created committees that helped to pass more informed legislation,” he said. “He shook up the framework of the senate and I feel like he did a great job.”
Wynn said he and Hales have been working together to improve the election process.
“One of the things I’ve worked on with Halston heavily is election reform,” he said.  “The Drill Field is typically chaotic during elections, and I think a less harassing environment is something that all students want. I’m hoping to have it finished off by next fall.”
Wynn said he hopes to continue to create productivity among the senate and student body by creating an “on and off” system that utilizes meetings by the senate on the first and third Tuesdays of each month and for all of the committees to meet on the second and fourth Tuesdays to discuss legislation.
“Basically, I want the majority of the conversation over legislation to go on during those off meetings,” he said. “I feel like this will lead to a lot more time spent passing legislation during the times that we meet as the senate body.”
Wynn also said he wants to increase relevancy between students on campus and senate legislation by generating campus-wide conversations and raising public interest and awareness. 
He said he believes one of the strong points of his campaign and a key to his election is his experience with the Student Association.
Wynn’s biggest plans entail working more closely with the faculty senate to sponsor more ideas and gaining their support when pushing legislation in student senate.
“I also think that my focus on popular issues among students generated a lot of support,” he said. “Traffic and parking, for example, have become big concerns on campus, and I believe those topics really catch student ears.”
In the past year, issues with parking have become a concern among students on campus due to the large student body along with the chaos on the Drill Field during elections.
Wynn’s platform included plans to handle these and other problems.  
The Twitter feed “@MSU_Problems” often conveyed student opinions and raised awareness of these issues during the school year.  
He said he thinks his approach toward the things students have expressed concern over gave him an edge in the election and he hopes to live up to expectations.
Wynn said his biggest goal as vice president is to leave the Student Association in a better state than he found it.
He said he feels creating a bigger, more productive agenda will benefit MSU greatly and will attempt to gain student recognition and involvement.
“I want the issues going through senate to be bigger, and of more importance,” he said. “It may take a few years, but we hope to one day hear students talking about what is happening in the senate between classes and around campus.”
