Vice President Mason Greenwald

(He/Him)

The Vice President of ASB is the Presiding Officer of the Student Senate. Primarily, the Vice President enforces Parliamentary Procedure in Senate and helps Senators develop their ideas from simple concepts to binding laws. The VP directs the selection of both the Legislative Council and Legislative Aides. The Legislative Council helps maintain order and cohesiveness with other branches during Senate. Legislative Aides serve as the secretaries and primary researchers of each Senate Standing Committee. The three parts work as a cohesive unit to create and initiate legislation.

The members of the ASB Senate form the representative-elected body of the student government, which consists of elected senators from all of the colleges and organizations categories on campus. Their duties include:  writing pieces of legislation that address problems on campus directly or indirectly affecting the student body; researching, writing, debating, and voting on legislation; and, most importantly, acting as a voice for each individual student. Any piece of legislation that is passed has the potential to change the Ole Miss student experience, from something as small as constructing a crosswalk to as significant as changing the grading system. See our 2023-2024 Senators here.

 

The Legislative Council is an advisory committee appointed by the Vice President to serve in the Legislative Branch. The duties of the members of the Legislative Council are to aid, assist, and guide the ASB Senate to function most effectively and efficiently.

Legislative Aides are a group of seven freshmen or first year transfer students who act as secretaries to Senate standing committees. This program allows freshmen and first year transfer students to learn how the Senate operates while playing an active role in the legislative process. Legislative Aides will be able to author legislation, debate in committee, work alongside Committee Chairmen, and speak on the floor, if approved by Rules Committee. Legislative Aides also serve on the Research and Development Council. Chaired by the Historian of the Legislative Council, the Research and Development Council aims to research ongoing campus problems, particularly in areas of freshman interest, and present them to their respective committees for consideration.
