NYU’s Lynne Brown honored with the Norman Buchbinder Award

Lynne P. Brown, Ph.D. was honored with the Norman Buchbinder Award for her long-time commitment to Greenwich Village at last month’s Village Alliance Annual Meeting. Dr. Brown was recognized for her involvement in the Village Alliance, previously serving as a Board Member alongside the late Norman Buchbinder, founder of the Village Alliance. 

Dr. Brown is ever present in Greenwich Village and has been deeply involved with the community since she began her career at NYU four decades ago.  Throughout her career, she has also been a frequent speaker on national politics, trends in higher education, and leadership strategies. Most recently, she was Grand Marshall of the 32nd Annual Children’s Halloween Parade in and around Washington Square Park – an event spearheaded by the University under Lynne’s leadership. Dr. Brown will be missed as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement.
