'''About the person:''' Kelduum (a [[wikipedia:mandalorian|mandalorian]] name, meaning 'eternal stronghold') became a [[capsuleer]] in mid 2006, and after a little while, joined Eve University. After a few short months he became entangled with a few diplomatic negotiations, and eventually became Director of Diplomacy for IVY. In December of 2008 he took over the role of Director of Operations, and in January 2010 the CEO role itself, both of which he carries currently. It is currently unclear what his final goals on New Eden are, however they are believed to include the construction of a gigantic battle-station.

'''About the person:''' Neville Smit discovered and joined Eve University early in his career.  Due to his insatiable ego, he became obsessed with collecting titles in the UNI hierarchy.  Before becoming the UNI Director of Education, he acquired the titles of Freshman, Student, Recruitment Officer, Senior Recruitment Officer, Assistant Recruiting Manager, ILN Ensign, Graduate, Teacher, Mentor, Mentor Manager and Teaching Manager -- and also was awarded the UNI's first official Professor title.  In love with the sound of his own voice, he lectures frequently in UNI-sponsored classes, even if no one shows up.  An admitted carebear, Neville is a master at getting in on killmails while flying in the shadows of far superior UNI pilots, resulting an an impressive-looking but ultimately hollow [http://ivy.killmail.org/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=463535 efficiency ratio].  His only real saving graces are his genuine desire to help new capsuleers succeed, and his zeal for providing top-notch learning resources to UNI members.

'''About the person:''' Alelsa stumbled through the doors of Eve University in late December 2009, searching for some idea of what to do as a new capsuleer. Education soon started taking joint place alongside work, joining the ranks of the Personnel Department in January 2010 and somehow managing to be assigned as Teaching Manager (then "Training Manager") just a month later, doing the job until around September 2010 and more recently returning to the same position in May 2011.  Upon returning, her first questions were "Did anyone wash my coffee cup?" and "Who owns the large furry creature next to the sink that is eyeing me strangely?"

Around this time a real life friend was starting Eve Online and was struggling to get a grip on the basics of the game, also around this time I felt it was time to leave the big alliance life behind and decided this could be my chance at a new life.

After a nice chat with Dierdra Vaal explaining my wishes to mentor my friend we both got accepted into the Eve University.

'''About the person:''' Cervator joined New Eden around August 2009 and Eve University shortly after that. He enjoys a strange satisfaction from organizing things, so he turned out to be a perfect fit for the Logistics Department. Cervator established the PYOS program with direction from Azmodeus Valar, which provides T1 ships at cost to students for ISK (similar to how BYOM does it for minerals)

'''About the Role and the Person:''' I founded Eve University to create a place where new players could get together and be appreciated for who they were. Classes and doing things together were important but nothing was, and is, more important than the positive attitude towards new players.

In the first three years I clocked about 4000 hours logged-in in the service of the University. After some real life changes my available free time was greatly reduced but I could rely on a great team of directors and managers to run the Uni. In the last three years I was mainly concerned with extinguishing fires and the occasional directorship drama, but fortunately for me and everyone involved these issues have become less frequent and intense. The current leadership is stable and doing well, and they seem to share my vision of what the University should be and they work hard to shape it as such, with all the limitations of the game and the people in it.

More changes in my real life have resulted in even less Eve time and as a result I feel now removed from the game. Because of that I have decided that it is in the best interest of Eve University that I resign from my CEO position. I have asked Kelduum to succeed me and he has accepted the job.

What does this mean for the University and its members? Well, nothing. It means that now the formal power will be with the person who has already been in charge for a long time. I trust that Kelduum and the rest of the leadership will continue to run and build the University as they have done in the past. If they should decide to take another route then that's fine too.

As for me? I hope to stay a member of the University. If and when I have time I would like to log in and just join the chat with the new guys. The enthusiasm of new players is what I always enjoy most about EVE. Besides, there is always a lot to learn in Eve.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone for putting your trust in me. When I founded the Uni I had no idea where it would go. Where we are today is far beyond anything I could have imagined. I have learned so much, I have met amazing people and had a great time. All thanks to you, members past and present of Eve University.
