User:White 0rchid/Cross Campus Initiative
All members of EVE University are free to participate in the Cross Campus Initiative program. This includes staff (in fact, I urge all staff to give this a go!). White 0rchid is the current coordinator of this program.
Why Should I Participate?
EVE University prides itself in covering a diverse array of activities within New Eden. To provide our pilots with the best 'all round' experience, the campus system was put in place. This helps educate unistas on the different playstyles and tactics used within each area.
Regardless of which part of space you see your home as being, there is always something new to learn and always value in knowing more about these other areas that you as a pilot don't often frequent.
A recent example of this was when Pandemic Legion, an alliance known for its PvP prowess and experienced players, ventured through a lowsec area with Incursion rats. They were not prepared for it and as such lost a 400mil Deimos to sansha gate rats.
Finally, we are all proud Unistas at the end of the day and we should stick together and help out our fellow bros. This is your chance to get out there and help some newer guys out while at the same time filling in gaps in both their knowledge and your's.
What The Initiative Can Offer
- The 'All Rounder' vanity title in game
- Kill two birds with one stone - Participating in this Initiative will assist towards the goals of other Titles, especially Sophomore
- A well rounded education on all areas of New Eden, who knows, you may find you enjoy it more!
- Meet new people from other areas of the uni that you may not have bumped into otherwise
- Rewards! The first 10 pilots to complete the program will receive either a pirate or T2 cruiser or 150mil ISK, one pirate and one T2 frigate of their choice. The reward will then drop to either a faction cruiser or 50mil ISK and one pirate or T2 frigate for the next 20 pilots, before dropping to a baseline pirate or T2 frigate.
Requirements
To successfully complete the program, you must show activity and group participation across the campuses along with willingness to engage with the community. The required campuses, along with some examples of activities that can be carried out there, are shown below along. Due to the limitation of joining the WHC, pilots must be at least 8 weeks old to participate (WHC access requires Sophomore title, which in turn requires 6 weeks of Uni membership).
What we would expect to see to meet to requirements is participation in at least 3 events per campus. These can include but are not limited to:
- Joining/FC'ing PvP fleets, mission fleets or mining ops and then writing the appropriate AARs
- Teaching classes around each campus
- Organising events (if these are uni-wide even better!)
- Mission Running (Mission Mondays are currently held at 20:00 game time)
- Industry
- Mining
- PvP in Faction Warfare
- Combat sites and sigs
- Exploration (WHs/Relic & Data)
- Mission Running
- PvP in NPC null
- Combat sites and sigs
- Exploration (WHs/Relic & Data)
- Mining (Back Pocket)
- Industry
- PvP in wspace and nullsec through the chain
- Sleeper anoms and sites
- Exploration (WH chain/Relic & Data)
- Mining (Huffing a lot too!)
Applicants are also free to engage with these slightly more specialised campuses:
- EVE University Incursion Community (DD, Logi, Scout/Picket)
- Project Solitude (PvP, Missions, Combat Sites, Exploration)
- Amarr Mining Campus (I think you can maybe mine there?)
