Isabell Dittmar will take over the role of Career Coach for ETH alumnae and alumni in September. By doing so, she succeeds Kristin von Lüdinghausen, who established the coaching offer of the ETH Alumni Association in 2020. Since then, many of our members have taken advantage of the coaching offer and sought orientation as well as support in their various career phases.

The ETH alumni almost won again at the ninth edition of the Ryder Cup at the Lucerne Dietschiberg Golf Club. Unfortunately, it was not quite enough in the end; the ETH lost to the HSG with an extremely narrow 18:19 victory.

Pascal Schwendimann studied at ETH Zurich and has recently started working as an IT consultant. Also a board member of the Baden Chapter, he talked to us about how he had to find a job during the Covid pandemic, what he learnt from launching his career and what he misses most from his time at the ETH.

Six alumni came to the regulars' table on 3 August 2023, which was held at Brasserie du Kirchberg.

On 3 June, the OG Ticino had the opportunity to visit the Sessa gold mine. The mine is located on Mount Sceré in the Malcantone region. The entire region is rich in underground minerals, and is therefore considered as one of the more important raw material deposits in Switzerland. Under the guidance of ETH alumnus Daniele Ryser and his colleagues, we were able to walk the path that crosses the mountain at about 390 metres.

Keramik Laufen is a traditional and world-famous company with great regional importance. Giovanni Bonavia has organized a visit there. In the afternoon, the guided tour of the historic town of Laufen rounded off the program.
