We have a new opening for two volunteer positions: Editor-in-Chief and Art Editor. See below for application details. Please note: all staff positions are volunteer and are thus unpaid. All positions are also virtual/remote.

Editor-in-Chief (Posted August 23, applications due September 30)
The Editor-in-Chief will begin work with VC in October/November following the publication of Issue 64. This is meant to be a long-term position, so please plan on committing for at least one year, if not longer.
