Remembering 2020 at BGU - April: A Cat's Life in Lockdown

While 2020 has been a far from normal year at BGU, we’ve still been able to celebrate a wide range of successes and achievements from across our learning community.

To mark the end of the year we’re picking out our favourite stories from each month to share with you.

April

April – By April the first national lockdown was in full effect and it was a strange experience for all of us, particular our very own Campus Cat Johnty.

He shared his experiences and how he was adapting to social distancing and solitude. Despite his usual preference for space he was keen for everyone, in particular his servants friends in the IT department, to return to campus as soon as they could safely.
