Interview

Christa Fäh – Graubünden Regional Group President

We are continuing with our series of interviews with Regional Group Presidents sharing more insight into their roles, challenges, and aspirations. This time we interviewed the President of the Regional Group Graubünden – Christa Fäh.

WHEN DID YOU BECOME A RG PRESIDENT?

In 2019.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THIS OFFICE?

When I took over my role as RG President Graubünden, I was as a member of the Admissions & Marketing team of the school, in charge of recruiting new students. This combination and the synergies resulting were very positive and fruitful.

WHICH EVENTS OR MEETINGS WITH OLD GIRLS AND OLD BOYS DO YOU REMEMBER BEST?

I attended many meetings, events and get-togethers, which I have all in best memory. I would like to mention especially our get-together at the family Taskent residence in Istanbul, where alumni and interested families were invited and gathered together to share experiences. At all these different events I have organised, it was always great to witness that within the members of the Zuoz Club you will always find open doors, this is just unique!

WHAT DOES YOUR REGION OFFER TO SCHOOL GRADUATES?

Our region offers possibilities for university graduates to develop themselves in tourism industries. People interested for example in a hotel career will find many contacts.

DID YOU STUDY IN THE REGION OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?

I studied and started my career in Zurich and abroad before returning to the Engadin.

WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR CAREER?

Before I started my university studies, I took a gap year in order to get some working experience to be able to find a job. Working in a law firm while studying law was a very good balance and practice.

DID YOU TALK TO ZUOZ FRIENDS TO GET ADVICE OR SUPPORT?

Throughout my studies and career, I was in contact with Zuoz friends at any time. Although we never met, advice and support within members of the Zuoz Club is guaranteed and unconditional.
