Our Team

We are a group of volunteers, passionate about writing on issues that matter. Our international team includes students across majors, interests and disciplines involved on a semesterly and yearly basis during our studies at JCU.  

Our structure is made up of the board, which includes the president, vice president, editor in chief, head of editors, webmaster, vice webmaster, and treasurer. Our members include staff writers, copy editors, layout designers, and special contributors.

Our team is advised and supervised by a JCU professor.
