Dan Doran

Dan Doran is beginning the first year of Clemson University’s two year Hospitality Certificate Program (HCP) within ClemsonLIFE this fall, supported by this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow Stella Kenneally Scholarship Award, with graduation expected in Spring 2028.

Dan is really proud of joining the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity last September. He’s loved being part of the brotherhood, making new friends, and attending their weekly Bible study group, where they read together and talk through the message. Through the HCP program, Dan is looking forward to building the hard skills that will help him launch a career in hospitality, all while continuing to grow his independent living skills.

Dan keeps a full and joyful life outside of class: spending time with family and friends, going out to eat, listening to music and singing, watching movies, dancing, and staying active with walks.

Dan is deeply grateful for the support of Ruby’s Rainbow and the Stella Kenneally Scholarship family, and he says it means the world to have help paying for his education. We’re just as grateful to support you, Dan. Looking forward to an incredible first year in the HCP program!
