Helping EVE University: Difference between revisions

Line 68:

EVE University has one of the best resources for new players to EVE Online in the EVE University wiki. If you have a forum account you can already edit most wiki pages, without any further ado. Just login at the top right hand corner. There are some pages which are 'Protected' so they can only be edited by certain people (e.g. the Rules page etc) but don't let that stop you. If one of those pages needs some changes, contact the Manager/Director of the relevant department for assistance. We have so many pages on the wiki that it can be a bit daunting to know where to start. If you're not sure, we have a [[To_Do_List|To-Do list]] which will give you some ideas. Some of the changed needed are big, like creating a new page on a subject area, or rewriting an entire page, and some are smaller, such as grammar changes and updates.

Writing for front page

===Writing for our blog===

On the front page of our [http://www.eveuniversity.org/| website] we have a blog which is updated with current events and news on EVE University. We always welcome contributions to this, just log in with your forum account and you can submit a draft post. Once you're done, send a mail to a Director and they will be able to review, edit and post it.

You can also follow EVE University on Twitter and Facebook.

==Volunteering as a staff member==

Mentor

EVE University relies on a load of staff members to keep everything running smoothly. Every staff member is a volunteer and receives no payment for their service. There are too many to list them all here but the [[EVE_University_Management|EVE University Management]] page will give you an idea of the different departments and how they all fit together in the grand scheme of things. There are a few departments that are always in need of volunteers:

~~Teaching~~

PO

===Becoming a Mentor===

~~Titles~~

~~Logistics~~

Mentors are the people who volunteer to help out new players one-on-one through our [[Mentor_Program|Mentor Program]]. In order to help out as a mentor you need to either be a Graduate or have the equivalent experience level of a Graduate member, and be willing to spend a few hours a week with your assigned mentees. As a mentor you can have the satisfaction of seeing your mentees grow to become helpful and productive members of EVE University. If this sounds like something you'd like to try, see [[Mentor_Program#I_want_to_help.21_How_do_I_become_a_Mentor.3F| this page]] for the requirements and how to apply.

===Becoming a Teacher===

Teachers are the life-blood of EVE University, they are responsible for running our [[EVE_University_Class_Library|Classes]]. You can teach classes on any area of EVE you are comfortable teaching about. This may be one of our established classes, or an entirely new class. Most of our classes are done on Mumble, though we have also had classes run on Twitch.TV and even classes by text (in a chat channel). If you volunteer as a teacher you should normally be either a Sophomore or a Graduate member and you will be expected to teach at least one class per month. If you'd like to try it out see our page on [[Joining_The_Faculty|Joining the Faculty]].

===Becoming a Personnel Officer===

Personnel Officers are the ones who spend their time reviewing applications to EVE University and conducting interviews for applicants. We receive dozens of applications per week, so the [[Personnel_Department]] needs a lot of staff to process them and is almost always looking for more Personnel Officers. Personnel Officers are the face of EVE Uni to new players, so you will need to have a reasonable knowledge about EVE University and the campuses, and Sophomore title is preferred, though lower titles will be considered. You will be expected to do at least some work every week. In return you can be responsible for bringing a new player into EVE University and seeing them thrive. If this sounds like something you can commit to, see this page on [[Personnel_Department#Joining_the_Personnel_Department|Joining the Personnel Department]].
