Foundation Board Members, Association Officers and Student Leaders
Foundation Board Members
Two seats on the Board of the LSE Alumnae and Alumni Foundation of Switzerland are reserved for our Association. Our representatives will be first seated during our 20 Year Jubilee in 2018. Members, who would enjoy serving on the Foundation Board, are invited to get in touch with the Secretary General of the Association. As an endowed national foundation, its purpose is to support LSE students and researchers from Switzerland with scholarships and research grants. To learn more, visit its Web site:
Association Officers
The Association is also seeking volunteers for a wide range of Officer positions. Officers are elected by the entire membership for 2-year terms. The next elections are in 2018, the year of our 20 Year Jubilee. Members, who would like to serve LSE alumnae and alumni as Officers of the Association, are invited to get in touch with the Secretary General.
Student Leaders
To gain Swiss citizenship takes decades. However, LSE students from all corners of the world can acquire the coveted "Swissness" by a far shorter route: by becoming members of the LSE Students' Union Swiss Society. On campus, the Society is noted for its (in)famous Fondue Feast in the Michaelmas term. Are you a new or returning LSE student and would like to help out at the Society stall during the Welcome Fair in September? Please e-mail the Secretary General of the Association, who will put you in touch with other interested students. The Association provides the Society with a small annual financial grant to help it restart each year.
