Sixty-three full- and part-time faculty members were honored last spring at NYUCD’s annual Longer-Term Awards Program, which recognizes individuals for a job well done over an extended period of time. “These people have displayed exemplary dedication and play an important role in our continued success,” Dean Alfano said. “We are tremendously grateful to them and salute their commitment to dental education.”
