Rayanth volunteered to become a Teacher's Assistant fairly soon after joining EVE University, so that he could gain some more experience with organizing and running classes of his own. While he has not managed to teach any of his own classes to date, he does still regularly jump into classes to help out the instructors whenever possible. Teacher's Assistants help out in the virtual classroom by providing links in chat while the instructor is speaking, and keeping track of the in-game conversation to alert the instructor to any questions that may have been inadvertently skipped. They may also help with after-class Practical Exercises, and other tasks as requested by the instructor. If you are interested in becoming a Teacher's Assistant, please read more on the [[Teaching Department]] page. | Rayanth volunteered to become a Teacher's Assistant fairly soon after joining EVE University, so that he could gain some more experience with organizing and running classes of his own.

In the spring of 2019, as part of the EVE University Anniversary Week, the wormhole system that the WHC called home was being harassed by a "large beast" complaining in local chat about the amount of litter and detritus left behind by their operations. As the complaints grew louder and more threatening, WHC called for assistance, and a large fleet of EVE University capsuleers answered the call. Arriving in a fast-travel [[Atron]] and expecting to switch to a [[Talos]] he had previously stationed at the Wormhole Campus, Rayanth volunteered as a Scout instead, intending to help hunt down the beast. By a stroke of luck, Rayanth managed to warp directly to the location of the target (a Carrier), landed tackle and called for fleet backup. Miraculously, through the battle that ensued (which included an unknown fleet arriving and taking part against both sides), Rayanth's [[Atron]] managed to not only survive, but maintain the warp-scramble on the Carrier the entire fight. He was rewarded with the vanity title of 'Dragon Hunter' to honor this accomplishment. | In the spring of 2019, as part of the EVE University Anniversary Week, the wormhole system that the WHC called home was being harassed by a "large beast" complaining in local chat about the amount of litter and detritus left behind by their operations.

After he realized that a well-learned capsuleer must not only have theoretical knowledge of the space combat and strategy, but practical experience applying that knowledge as well, Rayanth joined the Events Department to help organized Events that would help capsuleers in EVE University practice their skills in safe, fun, rewarding environments. Working with the Events Department, Rayanth has helped create and organize Scan The Can, briefly revived Space Rugby, and assisted in coordination of the Anniversary Week events. He also created the Fireworks Fleets, where pilots bring Hero-Tackle Atrons on a low-sec roam loaded with nothing but fireworks launchers and no misconceptions about the probability of survival. If you are interested in joining the Events team to organize events of your own or just to help out, please visit the [[Events Department]] page. Rayanth stepped down from Events Staff to focus more on the UniWiki, in October 2019. | |||
