Mood setter, hustler, athlete and club president. Four roles that are actually impossible to fit together and yet rarely describe one and the same person, Felix.

Hardly any character is as versatile as that of our board president.

As a native of Munich, Felix is often drawn back to his hometown, especially in September. Dressed in traditional costume and armed with a Maß, it's then "Oans, Zwoa, Drei, Gsuffa!", because at a "giant party" like the Wiesn, the party spirit of our president unfolds in its full glory. Felix is usually at the forefront of the party.

But this does not mean that Felix does not fulfill his duties! With an extremely high ambition, the lad chases one challenge after the other and still manages to get through his master's studies with an almost outrageous ease and bravura in top form.

Felix knows when to leave the inner party monkey in the cage and focus on the essentials. Despite his always likeable and friendly manner, he has the ability to be tough and decisive at the right moment and to set the direction, which is something you have to be able to do as president of the AMIV.

There is no doubt that Felix is a man of many talents. Whether it is his skills in the kitchen preparing a delicious tiramisu or his gift in playing the guitar, our board president is a true all-rounder with high ambitions. How he will continue to climb the career ladder in the future? "Schau ma moi"...

The president is responsible for coordinating the work of the entire board and represents the association to the outside world. He convenes the meetings and general assemblies and delegates the work to the individual departments. He is the link to the umbrella organization, the VSETH. Contact at praesident@amiv.ethz.ch

As the trained eye should already have noticed, Nic comes from the canton of Grisons. The 22-year-old has had a stellar career in AMIV and has publicly appeared for the first time as a board member. By the way, this achievment is super easy: You slide into the DMs of the previous treasurer and - bang - you take over his post. In addition, Nic is one of those people who likes to do accounting and is always top organized. In the rest of his free time he likes to play the cello, ski (STANDARD!) or code. Due to his local patriotic disposition, the question of his favorite beer should also be self-explanatory: Calanda. Of course, the Grisons dialect should not be missing, here presented in the following joke: "Why does a pilot always have to have a beer on board? So that he Calanda." Got it?! He is very much looking forward to help the finances of the "slightly chaotic, but warm" AMIV into some order. If you want to make sure Nic doesn't find too many gray hairs in his three years' worth of golden locks in the coming year, please turn in your bills properly.

The Quaestor is responsible for the financial affairs of AMIV, namely budgeting and accounting. He also manages the bank accounts of the association and checks the bills of all commissions. Everything financial: quaestur@amiv.ethz.ch

After a long way here, it is very pleasing that Alex has found his way to AMIV. After all, he started out in chemistry, then moved on to chemical engineering, and fortunately for him and for us, he ended up with the process engineering master and therefore at AMIV.

He is already quite experienced in being a board member, whether in the previous associations, in several positions at VSETH or in other hobbies (yes, being a board member can also be counted as a hobby for him). For example, he is vice-president of Polyband, where he plays the piano, and president of "TheAlternative", where he inspires (or tries to inspire) people for Linux.

So, if you want to meet him with his open and helpful nature, just drop by the AMIV office. Here he can often be found writing articles for the Blitz, keeping the IT running or just having a beer or two.

PS: Greetings from him and get yourself an ad blocker!

The head of IT is responsible for all technical stuff at AMIV. This includes maintaining the website, apps, beer dispenser, PVK tool, servers, workstations as well as leading the IT team and organising the coding weekend. Everything regarding the website: it@amiv.ethz.ch

Sonja Merkle originates from the Schwabenland, specifically Stuttgart. However, we can forgive her for this due to her friendly and bright attitude. She is known for being the youngest board member with her 19(!) years. When she is not attending an AMIV event, Sonja likes to cool down in the lake of Zurich.

She lives in a flat in the Niederdörfli with a rooftop terrace, on which she, as rumored, invites anyone that doesn't annoy the information board member with too many unnecessary e-mails.

Like many, Sonja stumbeled into AMIV through the Ersti-Weekend and is active there ever since. This is how she got to the highlight of her carreer, the information board member.

The head of communications coordinates various information channels such as the Announce, Facebook and the good old website, and ensures that all students stay well informed about the events in and around their favorite association. Last but not least, dutifully answering everything that remains at the end of the day in the info@amiv.ethz.ch mailbox is part of it. She also leads the design team, which takes care of the entire AMIV advertising material.

Who dis? This is Momo

What looks like J. Cole from behind with his dreads is actually the new Kulturi of the AMIV. From the land of smiles and dawns, the German came to Switzerland in the fall of 2021 to study electrical engineering. So he speaks fluent Chinese and we should rather say 这是谁? 这是 Momo. Zhe shi shei? Zhe shi Momo.

Momo has already provided good atmosphere as a DJ at numerous ETH events, including the ESF and the graduation party, so he's right at home in his department, no question about it. Even without turntables in front of his nose, he is a guarantor for fun and good ideas and a welcome guest at all events. As an ETH student, he certainly has timetables in front of his nose, but the extra time he spends as a board member should not be a threat to his academic success. Last semester, for example, he helped organize HERTZ22, is a resident DJ at Open Nights, and was active in Model United Nations. Finally, this international vein is also reflected in his aristocratic ancestry from Benin. Will Momo eventually take over the presidency because of this? We will see.

Besides the demanding and time-consuming studies that ETH is known for, our social life is often neglected. That is why the department of culture pursues the task of offering students a varied range of leisure activities. The "Kulturis" organize various events where our members have the opportunity to get to know each other. For two years now, "the Kulturis" team has been supporting the cultural directors in organizing events. In this team, anyone who feels like it is welcomed. In addition, depending on the event, there are numerous helpers to handle all the work involved. If you are interested, please contact us at kultur@amiv.ethz.ch.

Nicolai has been pursuing a successful career in the AMIV since his first day of studying mechanical engineering. He was convinced by the legendary AMIV Freshmen Weekend and the generous beer distribution during the first week of the semester. In his first semester, he began organizing events and has since been frequently seen in the AMIV office, where he is now considered a resident. As is customary for one of these species, he always has a free drink, such as a "Käfu" (coffee), a Mate or a "Bierli" (beer) from the Frisbee.

As Kulturi, Nicolai always finds a project to procrastinate from his actual studies. In addition to his involvement in the AMIV, he is also very active in his Scout group in Bern. How he juggles all his appointments and events remains a mystery to everyone, but it always works out.

Robin Jeger, who is almost 40 (just kidding, he's 22), lives in Horgen and is thus one of the "Locals" at ETH.

He was almost hired by Real Madrid, but his knee injury put a spoke in this professoinal football carreer's wheel. Now, he forwards his valuable knowledge als a football trainer to the younger generation.

He had his first contact with AMIV in this Zweiti-Weekend, the catch-up weekend, as his Ersti-Weekend was during the pandemic. There, he got to know the HoPo team and became a semester spokesperson soon after. Now, he ascended to the HoPo-MAVT board member and thus represents the interests of the students.

At ETH, students have a lot of say - perhaps more than you think. The HoPo board members are involved (together with a HoPo team per department) in the departmental and teaching conferences of the two departments covered by AMIV. In addition, they are the first contact persons for all possible study-related questions, organize exam preparation courses and conduct lecture evaluations by semester speakers as well as tutorial evenings for students from the lower semesters. Do you have any questions or suggestions? Please contact the HoPo team at hopo-mavt@amiv.ethz.ch.

Our university policy board member originally comes from the village near Stuttgart and grew up there drinking Dinkelaker. He liked the 3rd semester at D-ITET so much that he is currently taking it for the second time. This gives him more time to take advantage of his favorite drink, free coffee.

In his free time, he plays sports (he would love to do it in nature, but never makes it there), parties, meets friends or draws.

At 22 years old, he has set his sights on his serious department to represent his fellow students in all matters, to advocate for his favorite issues (bikes & net zero), and to conscientiously carry out his duties.

Jasmina aka Jizzll takes care of the job board and company contacts at AMIV, after having gained experience in this area at LIMES. When she's not writing to companies, Jasmina sometimes studies mechanical engineering in her bachelor's degree, does sports, rides a motorcycle or visits her hometown Bärn. Otherwise she likes to chill!

The members of the External Relations Department establish new contacts with the business community and maintain existing ones. Their main task is to raise sponsorship funds and exchange information between industry and students - to create added value for the students. Together with the President, the board members of this department are the face of the AMIV to the outside world. They also organize the big AMIV company contact fair "AMIV Kontakt" every autumn semester. In order to be able to offer interesting excursions during the semester as well, they have to rely on external help. Would you like to support the ER team in the area of excursions, contact or sponsoring? Then get in touch at er@amiv.ethz.ch.

If you want to find a motivated person, you are exactly right with the Hirsch. Efficient and determined, he does everything 100 people can't do together. But that doesn't come from nowhere: With his 5-year motorcycle and 12-year guitar career, he's learned all the skills for life (though he does more motorcycle repair than riding). Item, he's a super ER partner and I'm excited to share the semester with him this term. Cheers to the Hirsch!

In a small village near Bern, one can learn many things. For example, drinking beer or riding horses. After the first meeting, one would probably assign Julie to an art school. Her creative energy and calmness are very welcome in Zurich. In her free time, she likes to ride (publi)bikes and do various things.

But somehow she ended up studying mechanical engineering. Julie actively attends lectures, as she is an active member of the design team. During some lectures, she creates posters or adjusts layouts. She has also been seen on some brewery visits on Saturdays, as someone has to quickly design the blitz. During the week, there is no time, as there are events such as wine tasting or a brewery tour to Schützengarten.

Now she wants to live out her love for beer as the infrastructure board member. So make sure you always wash your dishes nicely and don't steal bottles from the CAB. Apparently, you can also volunteer to fill beer if it runs out. The Frisbee vending machine will now be fully stocked every morning, waiting for thirsty students. And if it's late, she ensures that the sound system in the Bÿro plays only the best songs.

The Infrastructure board member is responsible for all premises of the AMIV and the facilities belonging to the association contained therein and their condition. The design and allocation in the cultural area, rules for the lounge and the supply of drinks take up most of his time. He is always pleased to see how AMIV members separate the garbage and make an effort to keep the rooms tidy and clean. He always has an open ear for all requests, incentives and ideas and is looking forward to an email from you to infra@amiv.ethz.ch.
