This article is about the CEO, Directors, and Managers of EVE University. For the general functionality of CEOs and Directors in player corporations, see Corporations.
This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently. For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.
EVE University is run as a dictatorship, with the CEO having overall control. There are seven main directorates which are each run by Directors, and each directorate is split into different departments which are run by Managers. Managers oversee the running of the departments, whilst Directors set policies and directions for Managers to follow.
Outside this management structure, EVE University also has a team of Student Advocates. Their role is to act as mediators to resolve any student disputes as well as to act as a point of contact for the student body and bring any concerns to the attention of management.
The Head Diplomat manages the Diplomats and acts as a point of contact for organizations outside of EVE University who have questions about standings and other diplomatic issues.
The Director of Education oversees the training of members and new players. He decides on the overall strategies to maximise the educational side of EVE University.
The Events Manager oversees the scheduling of events, manages the Events Coordinators, and supports students in developing and running their own events. It also incorporates the Cross Campus Initiative.
The Teaching Manager oversees the teachers and guest lecturers. He is also responsible for the teaching and training resources EVE University provides.
The Director of Human Resources oversees the recruitment, orientation and progression of EVE University students. His job is to enable a smooth transition for new members joining EVE University, and as they progress through the corporation.
The Personnel Manager manages the Personnel Officers, who review applications and interview EVE University applicants, and sets policies affecting recruitment.
The Orientation Manager manages the Orientation Officers, who provide a contact point for new EVE University members and follow up their early progress.
The Director of Logistics is responsible for coordinating logistical support for EVE University, including providing EVE University supply services to benefit and support members.
The Communications Manager manages our social media presence and blog, and deals with the external promotion of EVE University, as well as internal communications.
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.

Directors Emeriti
The following were previous EVE University Directors or very long-serving Managers who have stepped down from their positions but have been granted Director Emeritii status.
Was never technically a director, but served 9 months as Student Relations Manager among near 3 years of other solid Uni contributions, thus earning him the same honor.
