Communications Department: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

The Communication Officers of EVE University are a group of dedicated volunteers who 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.

If you want to express your creativity, feel passionate about communication and want to give back to EVE University, we are always looking for people interested or proficient in the following fields:

* Creating posters and graphics, used in the promotion of staff recruitment, small and large events, public recruitment, propaganda, etc.

* Engaging in and curating ~~different social media channels~~

* Engaging in and curating our EVE University Youtube Channel and supporting the Teaching Department's use of it

* Storytelling and ~~writing long-form text for blog posts: roleplay, player stories, opinion pieces, etc.~~

* Creating videos or motion graphics

* Promoting and running Uni internal and external events (PvP brawls with friendly corps, mining events, raffles and giveaways etc.) in collaboration with the [[Events Department]].

''Minimum requirements:''

* At minimum an EVE University ~~Freshman [[Titles within EVE University|progression title]]. Further progression titles logically speak in your favour~~.

* At minimum an EVE University Student.

* Applicants should be comfortable with working on their own initiative and at times having to stick to a deadline.

* Being able to work in tandem with your fellow Communications Officers leads to projects being completed easier and more efficiently.

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 [[UniWiki:EVE University Graphics|Graphics Library]] if the graphics can be used repeatedly.

~~The best way to share your experience in a long text format is to write for the [https://www.eveuniversity.org/ E-Uni blog].~~

* 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.
