’An institution needs great determination and commitment to apply for a Great Place to Study Certification,’ said Shekhar A Bhattacharjee, Chief Executive Officer & Founder of the Great Place to Study Research Institute. A great institute cannot be defined with only great courses, infrastructure, andragogy and faculty. In the 21st century to assure holistic learning, an institution must focus and ensure right measurement of learning objective, learning outcome, life on campus and the happiness quotient for the students.
Nathan Andrews, Director, Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa, (see photo) said, ’This prestigious certification is not only validation of our adherence to international standards of excellence but a big motivation for us to continually raise the bar higher. I am pleased and honored to receive this certification for Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa. It is our quest to be the standard bearer in hospitality management education that offers our students an unprecedented advantage.’
Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa aims to produce the best-in-class professionals, hospitality leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow with the help of unique curriculum, highly specialized learning facilitators and state-of-the-art facilities. With recent strategic tie-ups with IUBH School of Business and Management, Berlin and Rutgers University, New Jersey, Ecole Hoteliere at Lavasa aims to bring a global outlook towards Hospitality Management education in India.
Great Place to Study Certification is an emblem of global standards and practices earned by institutions and universities who have a strong focus on student satisfaction practices in the area of learning experience; learning objective and outcome; life on campus and happiness quotient. Today, there are more than 35,000 colleges and universities in India, and only 2 per cent of these institutions represent global standards. Great Place to Study Research Institute is not only recognizing these institutes and universities by certifying excellence, but building a global community to jointly deliver the UG and PG program, joint research, and unlimited exchange program for students.
