EVE University Management

This article is about the CEO, Directors, and Managers of EVE University. For the general functionality of CEOs and Directors in player corporations, see Corporation (Corp Mechanics).

The management of EVE University is appointed as a meritocracy, using demonstrated ability to select staff.

The University has six distinct divisions, all under overall control of the CEO Azmodeus Valar. These are Education, Human Resources, Logistics, Public Relations, Special Projects, and Student Advocacy.

Chief Executive Officer

Azmodeus Valar About the role: The CEO oversees the general day-to-day running of the University, setting the general direction and making decisions which affect the whole group. This post has various departments reporting to it including Human Resources, Education, Logistics and Public Relations, as well as Special Projects. About the person: Azmodeus Valar has been a pilot since April of 2007, joining the University the following fall. He was appointed Hangar Manager the following summer, and promoted to Dir Logistics the Fall of 2008. He is trained as a PVP pilot, but somehow got the job of building things. It is believed he has alternate personalities in various other aspects of the game.

Director of Education

Bairfhionn Isu About the role: The Director of Education oversees the core business of EVE University, training new players. He decides on the overall strategies to maximise the educational side of EVE University. He manages the training department (classes), events department and mentoring department and ensures operations in these departments are running smoothly. About the person: After Neville Smit stepped down to finally undock, Bairfhionn Isu took over as the Director of Education. After being the Events Manager for 9 months she accepted the offer to join the Directorship. Not much is known about what she does besides directoring but she can be seen in fleets or hunting pirates now and then, making them cry. Reports to: CEO

Teaching Director

		Neville Smit About the role: The Teaching Director oversees recruiting and development of UNI teachers, organizing guest lectures, scheduling classes, and developing recorded training classes, the Syllabus Library and related player guides on the EVE University wiki. About the person: Neville Smit discovered the UNI very early in his career, and immediately became obsessed with collecting titles, in order to feed his insatiable ego. 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 pilots, resulting in an impressive-looking but ultimately hollow efficiency ratio. His only redeeming quality is his dedication to providing quality education services to his fellow UNIs. Assistant: Annaka Hansen Reports to: Director of Education

Mentor Manager

		Haxxi About the role: On request, EVE University provides members with individualized coaching and mentoring from experienced UNI Graduates. The Mentor Manager is responsible for ensuring that this Mentor Program runs smoothly and efficiently. About the person: Haxxi joined EVE University in November 2009 after a short and turbulent week. EVE University gave him a home and helped him a lot with the harsh and dark space called New Eden. After a short while, he joined the ILN in which he's still serving. In October 2010, Haxxi decided to give something back to the UNI and joined the mentor team. After a short time, he got promoted to an assistant mentor manager. In June 2011, Haxxi was recognized for his good work by being promoted to head of the mentor program. Assistants: Morgrell and Polarina Reports to: Director of Education

Events Manager

	File:Qato Vollan new.jpg 128px	Qato Vollan About the role: The Events Manager oversees the Events Department, including the scheduling of special events, recruiting Events Coordinators, and supporting students in developing and running their own events. About the person: Qato returned to the Events Manager position having served as Teaching Manager and failing at a career in motorcycle stunt riding. He enjoys a ginnantonix, not crashing, and getting people to blow each other up. Qato is ably assisted by Sketchy McGillis. Reports to: Director of Education

Director of Human Resources

Marius Labo About the role: The Director of Human Resources (HR) oversees the enrollment of University students both new and old with both the Personnel Department and Student Guidance Department falling under his/her remit. The role also includes reviewing student status and promotions via the Titles Department as well as offering guidance and training (or help training) new volunteers in assisting with these departments. About the person: Marius began his life as a Unista in December of 2010 after waiting a gruelling 19 days in the dreaded Queue. He volunteered for the ILN shortly after that and became a Lamb in Battle Group I "The Black Sheep". Shortly after that he volunteered to become a recruiter for the University. With the help of BG1 Training officers, especially Sam Seraph, "Mad Dog" Marius was soon promoted to Ensign and was kicked out of the Lamb barracks by Sam himself. If anyone at the barracks in CBT comes across care packages of cookies please forward them on to the rightful addressee. Marius established himself as a solid Personnel Officer and was soon promoted to Senior Personnel Officer, and much to his contemporaries' dismay, to Assistant Personnel Manager. In August of 2011 he was foolish enough to take on the position of Student Relations Manager. In December 2012, just 10 days shy of his second anniversary in the Uni Marius was appointed to his current position as Director of Human Resources. It is said that there are always two Sith, one Master and one Apprentice. Contrary to popular belief, Marius is not syphoning off Uni R & D funds to find a way to mount Strip Miners onto his beloved Catalyst. Reports to: CEO

Personnel Manager

		Rose Chanlin About the role: The Personnel Manager oversees the group of 25+ volunteers that make up the Personnel Department, the job of whom it is to put aside their time to filter University applicants, ensuring that only those who fit with E-UNI's mission and moral code are permitted entry. Tasks involve creating and updating recruitment policies, managing staff (bringing new Personnel Officers in, seeing that inactive POs are taken out, training new POs, promoting experienced POs etc.), monitoring recruitment activity, policing the University's public channel and, perhaps most importantly, defending the recruitment cookies. About the person: Information not yet available. Assistants: Turlough Dominian and Laura Karpinski Reports to: Director of HR

Student Guidance Manager

		Hannibal Barcca About the role: The Student Guidance Manager essentially functions as a moderator, addressing Rules and WSOP issues and transgressions by students and staff before they escalate to the point where a director should need to get involved. The SGM oversees any member issues relating to the EVE University Rules and the Wartime Standard Operating Procedures and also assisting members who may be overwhelmed with what to do in regards to our many programs and services. Have you got an issue or need an explanation regarding our Rules, WSOP, or one of our various programs or services? Then the Student Guidance Manager or his Assistants and staff in the Student Guidance Department are the people you should speak to. About the person: Likes to guide people. Which is fortuitous, since that is what this job entails. Assistants: Shegunna Blow, BobbyRush Reports to: Director of HR

The Logistics Director is responsible for coordinating the actions of all 6 sections, and ensuring that each is fulfilling its responsibilities. He/She sets policy for the Department, appoints section managers, acts as a liaison to other departments, and serves as a Director for the university as a whole.

Market Manager

	File:Cervator.jpg 128px	Cervator About the role: Responsible for maintaining the PYOS program. 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). Reports to: Director of Logistics

Director of Public Relations

As many of the other directors, Keleth started as an RO, when he left to 0.0, and Irdalth took his place, moving from RO to mining manager to teacher, when finally, 3 years later, his Jedi mind-tricks convinced Lord Kelduum to take him as an apprentice. Reports to: CEO

Diplomatic Director

		Bashir About the role: The Diplomatic Director coordinates Ivy League's diplomats and acts as a point of contact for organizations outside of Ivy League who have questions about standings. About the person: I've played eve on and off (and off and on) for quite some time, I remember the dark early days of eve with no skill queue and no "warp to 0 on gates", I enjoy putting some knowledge back into the game and the Uni. Reports to: Director of Public Relations Staff List Can be found at: Diplomacy Department

Forum Manager

		Smoogle About the role: The forum manager is responsible for day-to-day management of the E-UNI forum, dealing with forum moderation where needed, resetting user passwords, and assuring the quality of image-macro responses. About the person: Smoogle has been around for a while now, with a near-complete lack of training focus and more than a couple hiatus periods. Finally failed at avoiding responsibility. Has not yet managed to ban everyone. As far as fixing accounts? His attempts to develop psychic powers have so far failed, so it is recommended that you include more information as opposed to less. For example, if you need an email changed, try including email addresses, both old and new. Reports to: Director of Public Relations

Wiki Manager

	File:MirandaMcLaughlin.jpg 128px	Miranda McLaughlin About the role: The Wiki Manager's role is to patrol all wiki changes and identify and deal with any inappropriate edits to UniWiki as needed. About the person: TBC Reports to: Director of Public Relations

Media Manager

		Post Vacant About the role: The Media Manager looks after the news content on eveuniversity.org writing articles detailing what has been going on in E-UNI, as well as running the official E-UNI Twitter and Facebook pages. About the person: This position is currently vacant. For some reason, whomever takes this job falls to some ill fate, leading many to think it has been cursed by an ancient Takmahl artifact, discovered by a previous UNI Media Manager and who promptly vanished in a puff of smoke. Reports to: Director of Public Relations

About the person: Korr is really old and has aged well. Reports to: technically to the Director of Special Projects but actually Frood is Korr's devote servant and will do his bidding

Student Advocate

Bashir About the role: The Student Advocate is a manager chosen to essentially function as a mediator, addressing issues at student level before they escalate to the point where a director should need to get involved. They are a point of contact for the student body, acting much like EVE's CSM in that they try to filter through the popular issues and bring the important ones to the attention of the directorate. The Student Advocate can also be considered the "voice" of the students, acting on their behalf in dealings with the directorate. It is for this reason that the Student Advocate has much the same levels of access as directors, though they lack the in-game powers and roles. Have you got an issue or a complaint with someone? Then the Student Advocate is the person you should speak to. About the person: I've played eve on and off (and off and on) for quite some time, I remember the dark early days of eve with no skill queue and no "warp to 0 on gates", I enjoy putting some knowledge back into the game and the Uni. Reports to: CEO

EVE University Founder

Morning Maniac 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.
