Hi Asal,
I just wanted to sent you a quick email to thank you for the proposal
submission. I read the email you sent to Dennis, and your project idea to
incorporate creative approaches to the sciences is extremely interesting.
I am actually currently earning my own doctorate of education (that is how
I got involved with VOICES), and I think your research, experience, and
expertise are extremely interesting.
Thank you so much for submitting your proposal!
Tiffany
