At the start of 2010, Morning Maniac announced that he was stepping down as CEO of the Uni, after almost 6 years at the helm. Kelduum Revaan, the former Director of Operations, has replaced MM as CEO. Morning Maniac remains a Uni member and Director Emeritus.

===Ivy League Hall of Residence established - April 2012===

On 3rd April 2012 Ivy League established a new corporation called Ivy League Hall of Residence for alts of EVE University members. The catalyst behind the change was changes to the mechanics behind war declarations, which linked the cost of declaring war to the number of members in the alliance being war decced (so adding alts to Ivy League made it more expensive for people to declare war on it). Although the war dec mechanics were later changed again some members found it useful to have an alt within Ivy League, which enabled them to fly in EVE University fleets under the rules of the time, so the Hall of Residence remained open.

==2013==

===Dust University established - January 2013===

In 2013 CCP announced plans for a first person shooter which took part in the same universe as EVE Online. This was launch in May 2013 as Dust 514. In preparation Ivy League launched a sister corporation to EVE University in January 2013, called Dust University. Dust University had the aim of teaching new players how to play Dust 514 in the same way EVE University teaches new members about EVE Online.

==2014==

===Operation Griefseed - October 2014===

In 2014 the Wormhole campus stumbled upon a wormhole with structures belonging to Hounds of Haides, an alt corp of Public Enemy who were a frequent war-deccer of EVE University. Our members quietly seeded the hole (leaving alts logged off in it) and prepare for an invasion. In an operation led by Titus Tallang spanning two days, EVE University successfully destroyed Hounds of Haides’ large POS and several player owned customs offices (POCOs) with a fleet of 130 people.

===Operation Bulbasaur - October 2014===

By October 2014 EVE University had been wardecced by Pursuit of Happiness for several months, leading to a great deal of frustration to members. So when Sabre A (as Cpt Jack 5parr0w) called for action, he got an eager response. A group of EVE University members, particularly those who did not usually engage in PVP, temporarily deployed to Pursuit of Happiness’ home system of Anttiri to play them at their own game - station games. After a few days of content-deprivation Pursuit of Happiness dropped their war dec against EVE University, and victory was declared.

==2015==

===High Sec Group becomes High Sec Campus - April 2015===

On 26th April 2015 the High Sec Group (which was itself formed from the remnants of ‘Chilltown’) was adopted as an official EVE University campus, under the leadership of the first High Sec Campus manager - unstable unit.

===Operation Homulilly (May)===

~~War~~ targets were found to be ~~livingin~~ wormhole system J235117. ~~The~~ University ~~mobilized~~ and ~~evicted them. The carnage totaled up to~~ over 20 billion ISK in ~~damages inflicted~~.

Tempest Legion, war targets of EVE University, were found to be living in wormhole system J235117. When the wormhole campus discovered the wormhole in question, preparations began for an eviction, led by Alex Robles and Arimos. On 10th May 2015, after a three day operation, EVE University successfully evicted Tempest Legion from their wormhole, including destroying their structures and causing over 20 billion ISK worth of damage.

===EVE University HQ moves to Slays - August 2015===

After 6 years in Aldrat, EVE University moved its headquarters to the Slays system on 1st August 2015. This meant the headquarters was only a few jumps from the majority of EVE University campuses, making the lives of students and our logistics team easier. The move required huge amount of effort, with backstock and blueprints spanning several years being moved.

===New Ivy League Logo - August 2015===

In 2015 CCP announced that they would be allowing alliances to submit new designs for alliance logos and as part of this all existing alliance logos would be removed from the game. Ivy League took this as an opportunity for a completely new alliance logo. A competition was run, and the winning design was the new shield origami logo, which was designed by Janton Raudhir and Jurius Doctor. The logo was officially changed in August 2015.

===Operation Fragile Unicorn (November)===

In november HORSE-KILLERS, a local group in Solitude, declared war on Eve University. They were quickly found to hold assets in syndicate. In operation Fragile Unicorn Eve University destroyed one POS and four POCOs were destroyed.

===Kelon and his team wins Amarr Championship - November 2015===

In 2015 CCP held a one-of-a-kind tournament, the Amarr Championship, to appoint a successor to the Amarrian throne. Capsuleers were able to enter teams into the tournament to represent potential successors to the throne. EVE University’s own Kelon Darklight was nominated with his team to represent the house of Tash-Murkon. In a dramatic final at Fanfest 2015 Kelon’s team were successful and brought home the throne to Tash-Murkon.

On March 18th theses findings were revealed when Eve University declared war on Lizaveta Corporation. For week after war declaration Eve University was deployed in Amarr space and destroyed over hundred POCOs.

===Operation Furtuona - March 2016===
