EVE University's Social Media presence

You are very welcome to check out our Social Media accounts and share and engage as much as you want to.

Many of the communication officers as well as other fellow Unistas are posting regularly on r/eve on Reddit.

We also have a Facebook page and our own EVE University blog.

Nota Bene (August 2023): With the changes to Twitter/X, we are putting our engagement on the platform on hold.

Resources

We are providing a range of graphic and video material to get you started in case you want to incorporate it in contributions to EVE University promotion e.g. through streaming on Twitch (ideal for holding classes), YouTube content or other audiovisual content that we can use to promote EVE University as a corporation and to provide learning opportunities to capsuleers.


Freelance Contribution

Everyone can contribute to promoting EVE University. The simplest way of supporting us is by talking about your experience in the Uni on any of the social media channels and by guiding players, helping them answer their questions and ideally lightly point them to applying to the Uni.

Creating Posters

If you are interested in creating posters (e.g. WW2 propaganda derived works as they are so ubiquitous in EVE) but do not want to join the staff itself, feel free to just have a go at it and for example post them in the general discussion channels on Discord or in relevant forum posts.

You can also reach out to any Communications Officer if you have questions about picture composition, which programs to use, tips and tricks and so on. We would also be happy to host them in our Graphics Library if the graphics can be used repeatedly.

Write for EVE University's blog

The best way to share your experience in a long text format is to write for the E-Uni blog.

We welcome contributions from any capsuleer on any appropriate subject, including but not limited to:

  • Player Stories (especially from newer capsuleers!)
  • News of upcoming events
  • Reports of recent events
  • After-action reports of major E-UNI engagements
  • Opinion pieces on aspects (or changes) to EVE Online may also be submitted, although these should be well-thought-out and insightful, and should state that you are writing as an individual and your opinions may not reflect those of EVE University.

Members of the Comms Department will gladly help with providing feedback on ideas, as well as editorial support.

To submit a post, simply write your text in your preferred text editor (ideally an easily accessible cloud solution like Google Docs) and share it with the Communications Manager (preferably via E-UNI Discord). Do not worry about getting your spelling & grammar perfect, we will do the proofreading for you!
