Dear Design Friends,
Thank you all for providing such great leads, comments and suggestions to my
query about graduate programs which might suit my interests in ecology,
ethnography and design.
Because of your efforts I have been involved in a great many interesting and
stimulating discussions which I hope will lead to a successful graduate
application and admission to a suitable program.
I greatly appreciate your efforts on my behalf. Thank you! Thank you!
Best regards,
Ajay
