For Tulane’s prolific scholar, Dr. Bonni Nastasi, the world is her community. She was not only honored in 2016 as one of the most prolific scholars in school psychology, she continued her innovations and multi-year research efforts across the globe. We reported on her innovations where she combined elements of clinical, school, and organizational psychology to aid those is Sri Lanka and elsewhere. She has tirelessly created new methods that can reach children in the most need, a mission that started for her years ago at the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.
