Kathryn J Flaherty, Ph.D.
Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness
Thank you so much for joining us to speak with our Upward Bound students today. Your message was both inspiring and thought-provoking, and we truly appreciate the time and energy you shared with our group. You gave the students a lot to reflect on—not only about recognizing and developing their unique gifts, but also about the importance of character in discovering their purpose. Thank you again for making such a positive impact!

Working with Mr. Darren Hanna of DHann Mentorship and Solutions has been nothing short of inspiring. I’ve watched firsthand as he’s become a true voice for the youth, showing up with purpose, passion, and heart. The impact he’s making is real. He’s changing the trajectory for so many young people by using his own life experiences to educate, uplift, and guide the next generation.
It’s powerful to witness someone walk in their calling the way he does. I’m truly excited about the growth, the vision, and the impact that’s still unfolding. This is only the beginning.

Working with Mr. Darren Hanna for his branding session was more than just a job, it was an experience. From the moment he stepped in the room, his energy was powerful. Listening to him speak about his mission, his passion for the youth, and the vision behind DHann Mentorship and Solutions made me even more inspired as a Black man and creative.
It’s not every day you meet someone who genuinely lights up when they talk about pouring into the next generation. He empowered me just through conversation. Seeing another Black man take charge in such a meaningful way is something I’ll always respect. He’s a leader, a role model, and a reminder that our voice and presence matter.
I’m grateful to have been a part of capturing that light and purpose through my lens.
