You keep up with the latest trends and know how to surprise us with ideas that connect with the student target group. It is also extremely important that you are responsible when it comes to meeting agreements and deadlines. Knowledge of and experience with social media is a must. Student editors take initiative, follow trends, and make sure the student voice is heard on our channels.
