Tsui-fung Wong (1924) served as Dean of Women and Professor of Sociology at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.

After returning to Lingnan University, Tsui-fung managed an increasing enrollment of students with very limited resources as the result of war and inflation. In addition to her university work, Tsui-fung organized a Child Welfare Leadership Training program, with assistance from the United Service to China, Inc.
