The Tony Wong Diversity Award is named in honor of Dr. Tony Wong, a passionate advocate for public education, outreach, and the training of future neuropsychology researchers and practitioners. Dr. Wong was a dedicated mentor to many current members of NAN and was especially committed to supporting students from culturally diverse backgrounds.
