The Editor will solicit submissions, provide editorial oversight of articles, develop and publish the Newsletter. The Editor will disseminate the Newsletter through various platforms including the IARTC Website, CESNET, ACA Connect, COUNSgrads, and other social platforms. We hope to expand our submission to international groups moving forward.

Some editorial experience is desired but not required. Previous issues of the IARTC Newsletter can be found on the IARTC Website https://www.iartc.org/about-4
