2020 in pictures

Most of the 2020 academic year was spent in lockdown after COVID-19 became a clear and present danger globally. Visual images of the university at work and play are precious reminders of how the UCT community is made up of is far more than its ‘in situ’ presence of buildings and campuses. These images reflect this community in a year of virtual interaction – the academics, researchers, PASS staff, students, alumni, local community members and other stakeholders. Many of the traditional and annual activities and events had to be reimagined. But the university’s life continued in new formats and through virtual activities, as UCT grappled with a new way of being – on campus, at home and in the community.
