To Whom it May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Dr.Marcelo De
Stefano.
With my interest in school-based health, colleagues introduced me to Dr. De Stefano
in 2013 when I first arrived at NYU. We “clicked” immediately, and I appointed him as
Adjunct Assistant Professor/Consultant in our department.
Marcelo has been instrumental in the planning and implementation of our school-
based dental programs. He has been collaborating with me in the application for multiple
grants and projects. These focus on implementation of school-based caries prevention
programs, and are wide-ranging. They include optimization of care, intensity, and
frequency; program comparative effectiveness; and the relationship between oral health
and academic performance. His broad knowledge of the education system, combined with
his expertise in project management and implementation, has been a great asset for us.
Beyond the schools, Marcelo’s extensive work experience with City, State, and
Federal agencies has been essential in the success of our school based dental programs. He
has advised on drafting a memorandum of understanding for the services that NYU College
of Dentistry provides at New York City schools, institutional review board approval process,
introductions to schools and principals, school rosters that include sensitive data, school
reports, and funding initiatives.
Marcelo is a collaborative faculty member and highly regarded by the department
for both his experience and his intellect. He has strong interpersonal, teamwork, and
communication skills. He speaks and writes clearly and presents material that is succinct
and readily understandable to his audience.
Personally, it is exciting to work with Marcello. He has the the ability to plan and
manage multiple assignments efficiently, completes them in a timely fashion, and has no
drama. I give him my highest recommendation.
Sincerely,
Richard Niederman, DMD
Professor and Chair, Epidemiology & Health Promotion
