The student will also collaborate with all other engineering student groups to ensure that their events are publicized in the weekly newsletter.

The student editor will be responsible for developing associated content for the EUS website in conjunction with the EUS webmaster. This web content will include a full archive of the weekly newsletters, as well as updates to their Google calendar.
