The Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Joanne for her 10+ years of documented accomplishments in the field of higher education and having a significant impact on a large number of individuals and organizations.
Dr. Loewy is the Director of The Louis Armstrong Center for Music & Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel where she leads a talented team of innovators dedicated to the art and science of Music Therapy.
