Dear Dr Genevieve,

Thank you very much for your response and the introduction to the graduate admissions officer. I would be extremely grateful if you could direct me on possible supervisors that you feel might be appropriate.

My PhD dissertation proposes to enhance dementia care in older adults in Ethiopia using digital cognitive stimulation therapy. I am attaching my concept note for your consideration.

With warm regards,

Tsiyon

Good morning Tsiyon,

I am not taking PhD students as I have moved to a different role but if you are interested in the program, I can suggest other advisors who might be a fit for you. I've copied our graduate admissions officer on the email to also answer any questions you might have about our program or entry requirements.

Please share with me some other information about your dissertation ideas and I can see about potential other advisors.

Kind regards

Genevieve
