The Communications Manager oversees EVE University's Communication Officers and freelance contributors, plans its communications strategy with the CEO and supports other EVE University departments with creative services. |
Communication Officers
The Communication Officers of EVE University are a group of dedicated volunteers that regularly contribute to the different areas of communications work and have a special role in representing EVE University externally. They are the first point of contact for any Unista wanting to publish or promote their activities to a broader Uni-internal or external audience. Do not hesitate to reach out to them via Discord, the EVE University Forum or simply ingame.

EVE University's Social Media presence
You are very welcome to check out our Social Media accounts and share and engage as much as you want to.
Many of the communication officers as well as other fellow Unistas are posting regularly on r/eve on Reddit.
Some classes and events are streamed to our Twitch channel and at times uploaded to our YouTube page.
We also have a Facebook page and our own EVE University blog.
Nota Bene (August 2023): With the changes to Twitter/X, we are putting our engagement on the platform on hold.
Resources
We are providing a range of graphic and video material to get you started in case you want to incorporate it in contributions to EVE University promotion e.g. through streaming on Twitch (ideal for holding classes), YouTube content or other audiovisual content that we can use to promote EVE University as a corporation and to provide learning opportunities to capsuleers.
- Selection of UniWiki:EVE University Graphics on our Wiki.
- The EVE University style guide can be used as a guideline in the creation of official Uni media.
- How to stream: Visit our Twitch Streaming Guide.
Freelance Contribution
Everyone can contribute to promoting EVE University. The simplest way of supporting us is by talking about your experience in the Uni on any of the social media channels and by guiding players, helping them answer their questions and ideally lightly point them to applying to the Uni.
Creating Posters
If you are interested in creating posters (e.g. WW2 propaganda derived works as they are so ubiquitous in EVE) but do not want to join the staff itself, feel free to just have a go at it and for example post them in the general discussion channels on Discord or in relevant forum posts.
You can also reach out to any Communications Officer if you have questions about picture composition, which programs to use, tips and tricks and so on. We would also be happy to host them in our Graphics Library if the graphics can be used repeatedly.
Write for EVE University's blog
The best way to share your experience in a long text format is to write for the E-Uni blog.
We welcome contributions from any capsuleer on any appropriate subject, including but not limited to:
- Player Stories (especially from newer capsuleers!)
- News of upcoming events
- Reports of recent events
- After-action reports of major E-UNI engagements
- Opinion pieces on aspects (or changes) to EVE Online may also be submitted, although these should be well-thought-out and insightful, and should state that you are writing as an individual and your opinions may not reflect those of EVE University.
Members of the Comms Department will gladly help with providing feedback on ideas, as well as editorial support.
To submit a post, simply write your text in your preferred text editor (ideally an easily accessible cloud solution like Google Docs) and share it with the Communications Manager (preferably via E-UNI Discord). Do not worry about getting your spelling & grammar perfect, we will do the proofreading for you!
