In 2020 the world woke up with the news of the existence of a new virus and quickly spread all over

the world and changing our lives and our "normality". From the night to the day, society shut down,

and people had to stay at home, (re)adapting to the circumstances. Among all these changes, one needs

to refer the education, and in almost 48 hours, teachers had to provide education remotely, using the

tools available. After almost three months after the beginning of the shutdown, slowly, institutions are

starting to open up the doors and trying to come back to "old" normality, not without wounds. One of

the institutions where we witness these changes is higher education. In this paper, we present a brief

reflection about what might be the impact of the pandemic crisis not only in education per se but also

in higher education, including its management and financial issues. In conclusion, the reflection shows

that this virus can be an opportunity to disregard old behaviours and embrace change as an occasion to

grow.
