Changes for EVE University

Posted on our forums by Azmodeus Valar
Here is a list of announced changes for E-UNI, effective today.

1: New Position- Director of Structures
The Director of Structures will be the central point of contact to oversee and coordinate all structures across the University. With citadels on the horizon, followed by a second wave of industrial structures, in-space structures will be a central part of any organization. This individual will launch and manage all structures for the University and its Campuses. This will include coordinating payment, launching into space, configuring, and setting access lists.

Kaein Soturus has been diligently exploring Sisi for citadel changes, and will be our first Director of Structures. Kaein has been serving as our Director of Human Resources for years, and was a title manager before that. If you have any questions regarding citadels in the future, Kaein will be the central point of contact in the University. Please join me in thanking Kaein for taking on this responsibility.

2. Mentoring
For the last few years, the Mentoring department has been included under the Department of Education. Recent changes in recruitment, such as the Orientation Officer initiative have proven successful, and prompted changes in mentoring. Henceforth, Mentoring will be included under the Department of Human Resources. This will allow for a seamless student experience from recruitment, orientation, mentoring, and titles. We expect this change to help improve student services in the future.

3. Director of Human Resources
Laura Karpinski has been our Director of Personnel for some time, and is now moving up to oversee all areas of Human Resources. She is a hardworking member of the University, and we expect Human Resources to flourish under her leadership. She will be responsible for Personnel, Titles, and Mentoring. Her old position as head of Personnel will revert to a Manager position, and she will be announcing her replacement for that position in the near future. Please join me in congratulating Laura Karpinski.

4. Campuses
Both the Amarr Mining Campus (AMC) and Project Solitude have been listed as unofficial campuses, with no official Eve University Management involved. Both of these groups will be changing to official campuses, with Jefferson Spence being named AMC Manager, and Sally Digital being named Solitude Manager. Sally and Jefferson have both been vital members of their respective communities, and we expect them to be a wonderful addition to the management team. It will allow us to more closely work with these groups to offer a wide variety of educational opportunities to all Uni students. Please join me in congratulating both Jefferson Spence and Sally Digital.

5. Cross Campus Initiative
Rose Chanlin will be announcing details of this new program soon. Stay tuned.

War

One week ago, EVE University declared war. Our will was strong, our minds were clear, and our goal was simple; retribution.

The PIRAT alliance had been a frequent opponent of ours, often declaring “war” in order to strike at those engaged in commerce at major trade hubs. We entered this week intending to teach PIRAT what war meant, and they received a full and bloody education. Soon, groups such as A Few Brave Men  granted us their aid in this endeavor.

PIRAT, like many “high sec mercenaries”, uses out of corp income to support their operations. The Lizaveta Corporation was one of these money making operations, with a significant number of  Player Owned Customs Offices (POCO)  scattered through space generating tax revenue. After one week of of War E-Uni with the support of A Few Brave Men destroyed 185 POCOs.

Through intel gathered by many, pieced together by White 0rchid, and put into action with the help of people like Gareth Correlian, Mattikus Pathfinder, Jefferson Spence, Kyle Hargrove, Kara Burnett, Frozen Adler, Tusoro Tsero, and many others, we have struck a decisive blow against our enemy. Not only did we destroy 185 POCOs, but we have decisively engaged them in a major battle. That battle showed PIRAT and their friends the danger of facing a militant EVE University when supported by our many friends across New Eden, and it was an expensive lesson for them.

While we have named specific people for their contribution and cited specific battles one, the accomplishments of this week are not measured in isk and destruction. The true heroes of this week are not the organizers, fcs, or management. The true heroes of this week are the countless students and staff who have dedicated their time and ammo in common cause. None of this is possible without the participation and assistance of all of us. The true meaning of this week was not war, but community, and what we can accomplish as a group. Over this week new people have come together, created new experiences, and formed new bonds. And though we now return to normal life, with many of us scattering to our own smaller section of space, the memory of what we have accomplished will remain.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”

We are EVE University.

Kelon Darklight Victorious

In an amazing string of battles, Kelon Darklight’s team has emerged with a perfect 5-0 record from the latest rounds of the Amarr Championships.

He will be one of the two finalists competing at fanfest to determine the next Amarrian Emperor.

Join me in congratulating him and his team for a tremendous performance.

Kelon Darklight Victorious in Round 1

In the first round the the Amarr Championship, Kelon Darklight’s team soundly defeated their opponent.  Their missile spewing legion made short work of the enemy confessors, leaving just the enemy legion to destroy. It put up a valiant effort, but eventually melted under the sustained dps.

Congratulations on the first win, and tune in at 19:00 at CCP’s Twitch for the next fight.

Cheer on Kelon Darklight

The Amarr Championships are coming, and one of EVE University’s own is participating.

The first round of fights begins on November 8th, with Kelon Darklight’s team fighting at 16:40 in the 11th match vs Chessur.

The match will be streamed via CCP’s Twitch. Make sure you tune in and watch.
