TW: What convinced you to run for student government?
SW: I was very involved in student government as a sophomore and felt a need to go back and give more to the student body. Martina Scheuermann was the first person I asked to run as vice president; when she said yes, I knew it was right.

TW: How would you describe yourself?
SW: A very nice, Southern guy.

TW: If you could change something about the landscape of campus, what would it be?
SW: I wish all of the academic buildings were consistent with the original architecture of the university.

TW: What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?
SW: Choosing LSU has by far opened more doors and opportunities than I could have ever imagined. These three and a half years have gone by so fast, and it has been an honor to take part in so much at LSU.

TW: What was the last CD you bought?
SW: No clue - it has been so long.

TW: If you could be on a game show, what would it be and why?
SW: "The Price is Right" looks like it would be a lot of fun. I think I could guess the values of different products well.

TW: Which building on campus have you always wanted to enter?
SW: I want a complete tour of the Huey P. Long field house.

TW: Do you have a "signature" dance move?
SW: Absolutely not. I get embarrassed just thinking about my dancing skills.

TW: What was the last prank someone pulled on you?
SW: Prank calls to the student government office are always interesting.

TW: What are you thankful for?
SW: I am thankful for friends and family that have supported every decision I have ever made. The individuals I am surrounded by make me a better person.
