If you would like to get involved in future publications, the following committee roles have become available:

President – as President, you will be responsible for leading the team and determining the stylistic and business direction of the magazine.

Secretary – you will be in charge of the membership of the society and driving a successful marketing strategy for the magazine.

Treasurer – you will be responsible for negotiating a budget from the University as well reaching out to firms to raise sponsorship for the magazine’s print editions.

If you are interested in joining the committee, please fill in this short application form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm55k1el7uFAch73e5zaEjgfRyF2aNtjbuZHv3xnW73_TMhA/viewform

The deadline for responses is Friday 24th July, 5pm. Our intention is to have these three main positions filled this summer, so the magazine is ready to recruit further writers and sections editors right from the beginning of next term.

We look forward to hearing from you!
