Brandon Honeywell, junior in biomedical sciences and pre-medicine, is running for SGA vice president and hopes to use his three-year experience in SGA to make positive changes in office.
“Essentially, my platform boils down to a promise to execute the VP office well,” Honeywell said. “I aim to do that through three major goals, including making senate familiar and accessible to all students, seeing past projects through to fruition and communicating effectively.”
Honeywell said his priority will be to make sure students’ voices are heard.
“I also promise to faithfully voice student concerns and act as a responsible, transparent and committed delegate as an SGA executive officer,” Honeywell said.
According to Honeywell, being SGA vice president would be a chance to give back to Auburn.
“I am running for vice president because I feel called to give back to Auburn students,” Honeywell said. “I do not want to waste the valuable experience I have gained over the past three years, which has both kept me very interested in growing in my involvement with SGA senate and given me a sense of responsibility to build on the opportunities that I have been given.”
Honeywell said his time in SGA has prepared him to take on the responsibilities involved with being SGA vice president.
“The primary duty of the SGA vice president is to preside over the student senate,” Honeywell said. “As a current three-term COSAM (College of Sciences and Mathematics) senator with additional senate experience through Freshman Forum, I have had the privilege of invaluable exposure to SGA senate and its procedures, members and advisers.”
According to Honeywell, the relationships he has built in SGA thus far will help him serve the student body well.
“I have developed relationships with the people involved, know how the system works and have already become invested in what it aims to accomplish,” Honeywell said. “And I believe I can use those things to best serve the student body in the coming year.
Honeywell has worked on the Oaks Retreat and spent time volunteering with East Alabama Medical Center and IMPACT as well as being a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, AED, Lambda Sigma and a social fraternity.
Honeywell said he is also interested in hunting, golfing, watching Auburn football and listening to music.
Honeywell said he has loved his time so far at Auburn.
“I am truly blessed to say I could never justify asking for a better Auburn experience than the one I have received thus far,” Honeywell said.
Relationships amount to more than paperwork, according to Honeywell.
“One of the most valuable things I have learned in Auburn is that quality time spent with people is far more valuable than any one position,” Honeywell said. “Relationships far outlast paperwork.”
