Wise words from the wonderful @profsallybrown.bsky.social 🥰

Sally Brown @profsallybrown.bsky.social · Aug 7

A cohort worthy and excellent individuals! And sending comms and love to people who applied this time and didn’t get it! It’s a hard knock to take but learn from the experience and try another time is my best advice
