Campus Reopening: EHL Becomes the World’s Best-equipped Hospitality School for a Digital Future
After two months of campus closure and confinement, EHL
Group announces the reopening of its campuses and draws
a positive assessment of the actions taken to deal with the
crisis, as well as its leadership in the world of hospitality
education in times of crisis.
In line with the easing of confinement measures, EHL
announces its progressive reopening during the month of
June. In order to ensure the best conditions for the return
to the campus, the School has put in place a complete
disinfection plan and has reviewed all its teaching methods,
technologies and on-site facilities. The Group can thus
further consolidate its position as world leader and plans to
considerably increase its digital offering with its new
distance learning capabilities. An assessment has also been
drawn up, highlighting the excellent work and collaboration
of all employees and students, enabling students to
maintain an optimal work rhythm, and who will emerge
from this period with a multitude of new skills. The
outstanding efforts of the entire EHL community have also
enabled the Group to help various struggling communities,
such as SMEs around the world, students in difficulty or
underprivileged communities.
Managing the Covid-19 crisis: Ready for a digital future
During this period, the true value of the Group was
revealed, thanks to its three campuses that have shown
solidarity and resilience, its Innovation Hub that continues
to drive the industry forward, its Alliance that brings
together the biggest names in the hospitality world, its
outstanding consultants and, above all, its unique students
who are its greatest pride. In total, more than 7,000 hours
of courses have been given online since the beginning of
the confinement, with close to a hundred professors who
had to switch their entire programs to distance learning in
just a few days. “A feat as great as the stakes, which was
made possible thanks to the extraordinary work carried out
by all the academic, technical and support teams”, declared
Michel Rochat, CEO of EHL Group. Campus visits, selection
interviews, career fairs and industry meetings are also
among the activities that have been virtually adapted to
ensure excellence and to continue to honor EHL’s role as
the world’s leading hospitality management school. Today,
EHL boasts an unrivalled digital capacity for a hospitality
management school, heralding a multitude of future
innovations that will leverage these new technologies.
