Chan was inducted into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame in 2025. \nChan’s research is focused on hope as a psychological strength helping children and adults overcome trauma and adversity—he presented on this work with TEDx.  His on-going research informs the development of the “Hope Centered and Trauma Informed™” training program used to promote Hope Centered Organizations across the US. Chan has Co-Founded Hope Rising Oklahoma along with First Lady Sarah Stitt in their effort to make Oklahoma a hope-centered state.  Chan is the co-author of the award-winning book “Hope Rising:  How the Science of Hope Can Change Your Life” published by Morgan James.  Chan was one of five invited workshops for Jane Goodall’s Activating Hope Summit (2021).

Chan’s work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, American Psychological Association Monitor\, CNN\, and TIME Magazine.
