EVE University Management
The management of EVE University is appointed as a meritocracy, using demonstrated ability to select staff.
The University has six distinct divisions, all under overall control of the CEO Kelduum Revaan. These are Education, Personnel, Logistics, Public Relations, Intelligence and the Ivy League Navy divisions.
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.

Student Relations Manager
BladeHeart
About the role: The Student Relations Manager primary role is to be available for students to voice any Uni related concerns and, when needed, to try and resolve any conflicts and misunderstandings. I also try and provide an objective voice and give advice and explanations to students on issues arising from Uni actions. 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 |

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 an 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
Alelsa
About the role: The Teaching Manager oversees recruiting and development of UNI teachers, organizing guest lectures, scheduling classes, and developing recorded training classes, the Syllabus Library and related player guides on the Eve University wiki.

Education soon started taking joint place alongside work, joining the ranks of the Personnel Department in January 2010 and somehow managing to be assigned as Teaching Manager (then "Training Manager") just a month later, doing the job until around September 2010 and more recently returning to the same position in May 2011.

Having learned so much from the UNI Riff was approached by Nobel Sentiments to go out into low and Null Sec to learn more PvP, but the person wanted to stay doing the great work of EVE University so he decided to swap out Riffman for Warlock Venom who took on the N7 duties. Since then Warlock has continued to run BG3's training program and has also joined the Training Department in an attempt to fuse the good work of the N7 and the amazing resource that is the Training Department. Now its time to make EVE University an even more fun place for all its members. Reports to: Director of Education |

Production Manager
RECON
About the role: Responsible for maintaining production of parts necessary for Eve University. About the person: Recon has been a pilot since 2003 His early career path of missions and mining took him from the starter system Amsen into Piekura, from here some great friendships where made and the corp Tiara Eagles was formed. Managment issues and player drama soon split the corp and with the remaining players Quam Singulari was formed it continued on with a massive push building Battleships for its members, by mining in Piekura. ( any 2003 vets will tell you how hard this was at the time ) With the low sec system Mara not far away we eventually got into some PVP. It turrned out we where quite good at small gang stuff and Quam were asked to join the legendary Curse Alliance. Eventually this great alliance the Alliance split into 2, those following Xirtam and those who followed Foyle. Quam followed Foyle, who had an offer from Enders Hawk to form a new Alliance, Force of Evil. Force of Evil went on a rampant killing spree, fighting at some point, KIA, Celestial Apocalypse, Phoenix Alliance, G- Alliance, Stain. F-E, Mercenary Coalition, Xetic Alliance. After yet more drama the alliance choose to kick the old CA corps and side with the very people they where fighting, eventually leading to Quam leaving the area, and after a little while recuperating Quam had an offer to join Lotka Volterra. Around this time a real life friend was starting Eve Online and was struggling to get a grip on the basics of the game, also around this time I felt it was time to leave the big alliance life behind and decided this could be my chance at a new life. After a nice chat with Dierdra Vaal explaining my wishes to mentor my friend we both got accepted into the Eve University. My mentoring went well and my friend left Eve University behind to find his own way in the Universe of Eve. I decided to stay with the University and was taken on as a Recruitment Officer, this went well and was a job I very much enjoyed untill leaving the post. Reading the University forums the managment post "Production Manager" was open for aplicants I put my name forward and got the job. So here I am 7 years after I started playing Eve building ships and modules for the good of others, job satisfaction is at an all time high and im very happy to be part of the managment team Reports to: Director of Logistics |

Fleet Admiral
Silentbrick
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. I'm the guy who made the mistake of selling the idea of a navy to Morning Maniac and now I'm stuck here. ;) About the person: Been in the uni for all but 5 months or so of game time, learned alot and still learn alot from the students while trying to teach them not the specifics of PVP, but how to think about it and how to lead.

About the person: Smurfprime has been in E-UNI for a little over 2 years serving in a wide variety of roles including, Teacher, Mentor, and Recruitment Officer. He is rumored to have been one of the founding members of the infamous Division 6, not that any such Division ever existed. Smurfprime is very fond of scouting and exploration in general, and is known to be the first member of E-UNI to scan down a wormhole into unknown space. 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 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. Reports to: Fleet Admiral |
Eve University Founder
Morning Maniac
About the Role and the Person: 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. |
