Congratulations Dr Sam Wright 👏
Special experience graduating for the final time from the @uniofhull.bsky.social this week. From joining as an undergrad many years ago to sitting on the stage with a doctorate this week, I’ve loved my time at Hull. Thanks to everyone who has been a part of this journey.
