The Student Board at SHL is the official student representation, actively committed to fostering a vibrant, connected and supportive campus life. Serving as a bridge between students and the school management, it advocates for concerns, ideas and innovations that enrich student life on every level – social, academic and cultural. The board members contribute energy, passion, organisational skills and just the right touch of informality to help shape campus life in an engaging and dynamic way.
Just like life at SHL between semesters and internships, the Student Board is also in motion – not constantly, but over time.
Here we introduce the current executive board: dedicated students who actively shape campus life with fresh ideas and great commitment. Former members, who laid valuable foundations, are listed further below.
President
«Hi everyone, I’m Marco – usually somewhere between studying, partying, or daydreaming about my next time abroad. I had the chance to do my internship overseas, which showed me just how diverse and exciting our industry can be. That’s exactly where I see myself heading again in the future.
What I enjoy most is everything around Sales & Marketing: coming up with creative ideas, having great conversations, and bringing people together.
I’m part of the Student Board because I believe we can make student life even more active, colourful and fun. I love being in the middle of things and look forward to helping the SHL community grow even closer.»
Events
«I’m Liv, an aspiring hospitality professional with a lot of passion for the industry. You’ll usually find me in Zurich or in Engadin. I love contributing creatively and bringing new ideas to life.
In the Student Board, I want to strengthen our sense of community and help organise fun events so that we students can enjoy a strong, vibrant community.»

Finance
«I’m Vincent, from the chocolate village of Kilchberg. Usually with a witty remark on my lips and always ready for the next night out. I love celebrating and enjoy being around people.
In the Student Board, I handle the finances, but above all, I’m here to help shape our community. Whether it’s at a party or planning behind the scenes, the main thing is that we experience student life together and have a lot of fun along the way.»
«Hi, I’m Celine, and I have the honour of helping shape the SHL Student Board alongside my fellow students.
After completing my commercial apprenticeship, I caught the travel bug, which gave me my first insights into the exciting world of hospitality. Quite by chance, but with a lot of passion, I found my way into the hotel and gastronomy industry and eventually landed at SHL.
Now, in the Student Board, I want to help create even more unforgettable moments during our studies, true to our motto: Educate. Support. Inspire. Make memories.
I’m always happy to listen if you have ideas or wishes on how we can make student life even better, more vibrant, or more community-oriented – feel free to get in touch anytime!»

«I’m Bernard, and I’m passionate about the hospitality industry – especially anything to do with creativity, connection, and experiences. To me, hospitality means connecting with and inspiring people, as well as creating special moments.
In the Student Board, I’m committed to strengthening our community. I want to motivate my fellow students to try new things together, learn from each other, and grow as a group.»
Marketing | Media
«Hey, I'm Emily, 23, from the Netherlands – vol energie en altijd met een glimlach.
At SHL, I love the community and the energy of making things happen together. As part of the Student Board, I want to make campus life even more vibrant with great events and fresh ideas. I'm absolutely thrilled about this opportunity!»
Founding President
«I’m Jonas, from the beautiful canton of Graubünden, and I’m currently in my 6th semester at SHL. After completing my basic training as a HOKO, I was first drawn to the world of finance, but I quickly realised that my true passion lies in hospitality.
I chose SHL deliberately because it stands for quality and community. In the Student Board, I’m committed to making the most of our time as students through events, ideas, and plenty of team spirit.»
Founding Member
«Hi everyone! I’m Stefan – and I love approaching my studies with humour, joy, and motivation. I’m convinced that we can achieve more together – whether it’s through projects, events, or just everyday life.
I’m part of the Student Board because I want to help strengthen our sense of community. Let’s make things happen together – that’s truly what I’m passionate about.»
