Every second Thursday, GESSWho! hosted a Thirsty Thursdays gathering at BQM—an informal meetup where students from D-GESS were able to relax and unwind. Students enjoyed gathering at BQM, finally getting a chance to enjoy a drink and connect with class-fellows outside the lecture halls.
We hope to continue this tradition in the future for all D-GESS students! Stay tuned for further editions of Thirsty Thursdays.
We’ve switched to a new electronic lock in the GessWho lounge. The system uses CardLink (dormakaba exos), which means your access rights are stored on your ETH card and must be refreshed regularly.
If you’re unsure how to proceed or run into problems, please have a look at the CardLink documentation first. If you’re still stuck, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mauro Duenki at mauro.duenki@gess.ethz.ch
From June 2–4, 2025, GESS Who! organised a Summer Weekend at a beautiful hut in Stoos, Central Switzerland. The trip offered the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and great company after a busy exam period. Students went on hikes, reached mountain peaks, and enjoyed breathtaking views during the day. There was plenty of time to chat, laugh, play, and party together during the evenings, making the weekend an unforgettable experience.
On Sunday, May 18th, 2025, GessWho brought together 15 people for a Ping Pong Tournament at Spielplatz GZ Schindlergut. With perfect spring weather and two tables buzzing with energy, it was the ideal combo of competition and chill. Teams signed up solo or with partners for a fast-paced doubles tournament, with a cold drink in hand. Thanks to everyone who joined – and congratulations to our winners: Noah and Nicola!
From February 14–16, 2025, GESS Who! hosted its Winter Weekend in Engelberg – three days of fun, skiing, games, and winter magic in the Swiss mountains. Fifty-four students joined, enjoying table tennis, and a wide selection of board and card games, along with plenty of time to relax and connect. Accommodation, transportation, meals, and drinks were included in the modest student-friendly fee, making the trip accessible for everyone. Whether competing at the game tables or sharing stories over dinner, the weekend was full of laughs, good vibes, and new friendships.
