Right before officially starting the term, the EB 2010/11 of LC Zurich was completed by Sereina Pfister.

Read the portrait of our new VP External Relations as follows:

Hi, my name is Sereina Pfister and I am your new VP ER. Ok, not so fast: here some facts first: I am 21 , one of 4 children and I am studying political sciences at the University of Zurich. I spent most of my childhood abroad due to my father's job with Swissair. During those 12 years abroad, I was in the French school and only changed to Swiss gymnasium when we got back to Switzerland. After school, I tried one year of Law, but found out pretty quickly that it wasn't at all my way to be. So I choose to follow my elder brother and study political sciences. He was the one who introduced my to @. At first I wasn't very interested, but I found out soon enough that it was exactly what I needed and what I missed at University. To be part of a world where young people come together to talk, have fun and learn, through workshops, internships and much more was maybe secretly what I wanted University to be. I joined @ in october 09. I never thought about applying for the position of VP ER. After the first election, when the position was still vacant, Anne-Sophie talked to me and forced me into the idea. :D Now that I have been elected, I believe it to be a kind of fate thing. It had to be this way. I am very exited about my new position. Communication and selling are two things I love to do. I will have to opportunity to invest a lot of time in new ideas and new projects. In the first place, my job will be to put some structure and some motivation into the ER-Team, as there were some problems in the last term. After that, the job will be to raise Interships (TN's), to find sponsors and to keep up the communication with the outer world, which would be everything that isn't @. I am looking forward to working with all of you and I hope that we will achieve our goals together.

Sereina Pfister


We wish Sereina and the whole new EB a successful term!

So who is this newly elected LCP of yours? Well, some facts first: my name is Anne-Sophie Chiarello, and I was born in Basel, did my first years of schooling there and then spent my 10th year travelling around Australia with my mother. Upon our return I attended a boarding school near Rapperswil led by monstrous nuns (just kidding). Five years later I decided I had had enough of this gloomy place called Switzerland and headed for my first year of exchange in Beijing, China, where I attended a Chinese high school and lived with a local family for a year. I decided to stay, found myself a place in the German Embassy School, an apartment, a room mate and a job and embarked on my new life there. This was the time I first had contact with @ers and well, their unique way of dealing with a new culture.
Now I‘m studying law in my third semester and although people tend of that as such a boring subject I highly disagree. If anyone wants to take up the conversation here, you know where to find me ;-)
As you might have heard, I joined @ during October 09 and so have not much @-experience to offer. „Do it“ was an amazingly life changing experience, but then conferences seem to have a large impact on any newie.
It was there that my decision to run for an EB position turned into the certainty that I will attempt to run for LCP. The challenge seemed so great and the move very bold from my side, but I had nothing to lose. I believe the position of LCP to be a very demanding one, shouldering a lot of responsibility, seeking to get out the best in every member, take firm decisions and see them implemented, listen to our members and take a step back to follow their path and dreams.
Why did I do it? Because I am not easily scared of challenges. Because I believe I will learn more in the next year than probably in the five following. Because the message and motive of @ inspires me more than anything else has so far. Because I am happy to contribute to something bigger than myself and because I feel that I will make friends for life. As I've mentioned in my speech, I want the LC Zurich to be the best, stay the best and to keep improving through innovation and trusted leadership. This we can only do together and I am hoping that you know your importance as @-members, the foundation of @, the stones the walls of our house are made of. I‘m looking forward to the journey we are embarking on and I want to assure you of my loyalty to our LC Zürich. (Even if our Leo and Marmita are married now! Love conquers all but not rivalry between Geneva and Zurich! :D )

My name is Albert Gubler, I'm 20 years old and I study Economics at the University of Zurich. I play a lot of football in my free time and am interested in a lot of sports in general. A ball is enough to keep me occupied for hours. I also enjoy movies, TV shows and books, as well as wasting time surfing the internet.But if I was granted unlimited resources, I'd be travelling around the world. My AIESEC experience so far consists of being a member of the OGX team and taking part in their activities, such as organizing an induction event and raising awareness at the Activity Fair of the Federal Institute of Technology. I was elected Vice President Talent Management, or as we call it VP TM. My job will be to take care of the recruitment, the marketing and the development of the AIESEC members. I hope to continue the good work that has been done so far, but also improve the recruiting at the Federal Institute of Technology as well as in the faculties of the University where @ isn't well known yet. I'd like the LCMs to be insightful and entertaining, and a date all members look forward to. I really enjoy being a part of AIESEC and I want to get the most out of it. It's a valuable opportunity for me to gain leadership experience, to work with a young team and to meet a lot of new, interesting people. LC Zurich has a goal of being excellent and I just want to contribute to this goal. But most importantly I think I'm going to have a great time and a lot of fun this next year, which is my main motivation and also my personal goal.Albert Gubler

I am Nadine Engbersen and I already mentioned that I’m studying communications, but during my speech I hadn’t enough time to explain why. I choose this field, because it was the only one that had (almost) no mathematics, acquired no Latinum and which I could imagine myself working in and after all, it seemed to be exciting and it is. Furthermore, I am a rather shy and sometimes very sarcastic person, at times I’m very well organized, I love my friends, socializing, Photography and travelling.
I was confronted with AIESEC for the first time, during the most boring lecture of my studies, which might be the reason why I actually listened to the one who did the lecture shout. I joined AIESEC because I realized that I finally found what I was secretly looking for. A cool student organization with a high rate of internationality that did not only offer the chance to go abroad but also gave their members the unique opportunity of developing themselves on a free basis.
From March on I will be the VPX of our lovely LC. The whole LC and especially the EB 10/11 has one dream – to win the AIESEC Olympics. My personal strategy is to promote AIESEC more at the ETH and we still haven’t yet reached every corner of the University to spread the knowledge about what AIESEC offers and how we can easily help to realize dreams. Besides that, I want to set value on raising internships and to stay in contact with every company we've ever had an EP in.
My personal aim during my term as a VPX is not only to increase our exchange rates and be as good as my predecessor, but I also want to enjoy my term, learn as much as I can, take the advantages and opportunities that AIESEC offers me, make the best out of it and have a great team, a great time and lots of laughs and good times to remember.
