- New Website Administrator needed.
A new website administrator is needed. I don't have the
time I used to for updating the website as I spend a lot of time now
doing a lot of music production work as well as helping with other
newman club events. The website hasn't been updated in awhile and
I apologize. This may be the last time I update the site for this
semester. For next semester, I will need someone else to take over
website administration duties. I can even train you and show you
how to do it in preparation for the fall semester. So if you are
interested in volunteering for this position and would like to know
more about it, please email me at sonidodelx@gmail.com
