Looking for a Webmaster & 2 Interfaith Council Reps
We are looking for someone who can update the website from our current one to the new one on OrgSync. It will require a few hours to make the initial transfer, and then about an hour of your time per week to update. No knowledge of HTML is required; the website uses an easy-use portal.
The MSA is a part of the Council of Interfaith Concerns (CIFC) at GSU. We need someone from the MSA to directly work with them. This entails attendance at CIFC meetings, keeping MSA members informed about events, and being the Muslim representative on the CIFC Board. Please email us at
