As we get closer to our 10th birthday celebration, I wanted
to take some time to share some highlights from 2013.
I believe that 2013 was a great year for the Uni (or at
least me). E-UNI saw the transition from one CEO to the next, changes in rules,
and the continual growth of the University and our services. To put the scale
of this in perspective, here are some highlights from 2013.
Rules:
-We removed rules preventing students from flying with other
EVE pilots and organizations
-We increased access to Sov Null
-Removed rules restricting killrights and bounties
--We had substantial changes to our WSOP, including our approach
to war. For just a highlight of those changes, look

PVP
University PVP has been incredibly strong and varied this
year, with tremendous improvements in participation since the previous year.
Full year 2013 (2012)
Kills: 30456 (14721) Losses: 45790 (31740)
Damage done (ISK): 1921.69B (1018.96B) Damage received
(ISK): 1654.98B (1162.77B)
Runtime: 364 (365) days Efficiency: 53.73% (46.7%)
206% kills, 144% losses, 188% ISK destroyed, 142% ISK lost
with 7,03 %-point higher efficiency.
Slightly different data from eve-kill.net to get information
on average monthly numbers:
Median Kills / losses: 2502 (923) / 3383 (2040)
Median ISK destroyed / lost (B ISK): 179 (61) / 123 (74)
Median efficiency: 59,10% (49,53%)
271% kills, 166% losses, 292% ISK destroyed, 167% ISK lost
with 9,57 %-point higher efficiency.
Some interesting numbers for 2013 (2012):
capital ships destroyed: 44 (26)
capital ships lost: 5 (6)
Supercapitals destroyed: 5 (0)
structures razed: 400 (2)
Campuses:
Our campuses have shown incredible strength this year,
establishing themselves in new homes, growing, and maintaining a great learning
environment. We have strong communities in all areas of space, with talented
people in charge. One of the hardest transitions for any group is to continue
after key leaders and individuals move on. This year all of the campuses have
accomplished this feat, sometimes multiple times in the same campus, with no
disruption in services or activity.
Recruitment
Personnel officers have a never-ending job. Despite this,
they have not only kept on top of the work, but substantially improved the
process for all new people joining. The procedure has been streamlined and
clarified and the queue to join is currently just a few days, as opposed to
weeks at the beginning of the year. They have done over ten thousand different
actions in our recruitment tool, with over five thousand people interviewed.
Some volunteers have interviewed literally hundreds of students over the last
year.
The Wiki
The Wiki has shown increased use as well, with several
million pageviews per month now. It is our hope that continued work by
volunteers can help keep it updated and current for the future.
Education
Education has also continued its tradition of teaching new
pilots in Eve. The volunteers in that department have averaged almost 1.5
classes per day, and almost 1 corporate event per week. This is an amazing
number of manhours devoted to helping other EVE pilots. During the last year
we’ve also moved to more public classes, spreading our assistance to a wider
number of people.
Logistics
Logistics has continued its great job helping students have
the necessary supplies to survive.
Total ISK reimbursed to new players: ~46.6 billion
Note: This does not include items given out via the hangars
or the skillbook wallet.

Conclusion
I think we can all see that the University has had a
successful year by many measures, but there is always room for improvement. It
is my hope that next year I can report higher numbers in every category, with a
increase in quality as well.
