EVE University Management
The management of EVE University is appointed as a meritocracy, using demonstrated ability to select staff.
The University has five distinct divisions, all under overall control of the CEO Kelduum Revaan. These are Education, Personnel, Logistics, Public Relations and the Ivy League Navy.
Chief Executive Officer
| Kelduum Revaan
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 Personnel, Education, Logistics and Public Relations, as well as Fleet Command. About the person: Kelduum (a 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. |
Director of Human Resources

Darian Reymont
About the role: The Director of Human Resources (HR) oversees the enrolment of University students both new and old with both the Recruiting Department and Student Relations 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: Darian began his University career as a recruitment officer in early 2009, stepping from noob to RO and on to recruitment manager within a year. Having served as recruitment manager for roughly seven months, Darian was offered the role of acting personnel director to provide cover for the indisposed METADOG and the role eventually became permanent. Darian is generally open, friendly and at his best managing people (or at least pretending to whilst taking all the credit for their hard work). While not the type to yell or punch you in the face, he may well poke you in the eye and push you down the stairs should you anger him. Reports to: CEO |
Personnel Manager

Idree Battsetseg
About the role: The Personnel Manager oversees the group of 30+ 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: Data Missing Reports to: Director of HR |
Student Relations Manager
| Marius Labo
About the role: The Student Relations Manager essentially functions 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 SRM 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 SRM has much the same levels of access as directors, though they lack the in-game powers and roles. Have you got an issue or need and explanation? Then the Student Relations Manager is the person you should speak to. About the person: Data Missing Reports to: Director of HR |
Title Manager

Director of Education
| Neville Smit
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: 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 in an impressive-looking but ultimately hollow 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. Reports to: CEO |
Teaching Manager

He signed on as a Recruitment Officer shortly after joining, and occasionally still enjoys torturing new applicants. When life as an RO slowly began to drive him insane, he decided to enlist in the Ivy League Navy, joining the ranks of Battlegroup III. Following the time-honoured tradition of assassinating his superiors, he became CO of his Battlegroup, where he learned to be ever vigilant against his XO poisoning his Quafe. Qato has also served the UNI as a Mentor and Events Manager. 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.

About the role: I pretty much run the ILN and take care of the Uni's military decisions. I tend to try and avoid the non-military stuff as that's the roles of other directors.

Based on these experiences he has authored comprehensive guides on scan probe technology and the mechanics of ship tanking. Well aware of the time-honored tradition of promotion via assassination, Smurf is rarely seen in person (no current photo on file) or for that matter a non-cloaking vessel, even the location of his office is said to be cloaked, others rumor that his office is actually located in a portable micro-wormhole. Either way, you do not find his office, it finds you... Reports to: Fleet Admiral |

Gibs returns to E-Uni to share his experiences in known space as well as his vast knowledge of Wormhole mechanics and Pocket warfare. He's a really nice guy until Silentbrick tells him not to be.

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. |
