Defying the Fate: the Story of a Chinese Immigrant

Dr. Shouan Pan

We were honored to have Dr. Shouan Pan as the featured speaker of our community forum on April 15th. Born and raised in Mainland China, Dr. Shouan Pan is the current chancellor Seattle College, is a veteran community college educator of over 25 years.

Not only born into a deprived Chinese family, Shouan was once predicted “not
amounting to anything” in life because of the political circumstances he and his
family faced. After immigrating to the United Stated in 1985, he has completed
graduate education and devoted his life to the mission of America’s community colleges.
