Hello…
My name is Danny Soulas, and I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Economics.
At Wisconsin, I quickly realized my passion for helping others, which led me to become the Academic Chair of my fraternity. Before my time, there weren’t structured study groups or support for course selection, so I introduced new academic initiatives. During my tenure, our chapter ranked in the top three out of 26 fraternities in average GPA—a rewarding achievement.
Building on this, I took on a larger role within the fraternity community as Vice President of Scholarship. In this position, I managed academic support for over 1,000 fraternity brothers, awarded scholarships, and worked to foster a culture of academic excellence across the board.cholarships, fostering a culture of academic excellence across the board.
The last hobby I wanted to mention is my affinity for traveling. I studied in Copenhagen, Denmark my junior year and it was probably my favorite semester of college. I could see myself temporarily living in Europe for a couple years if the opportunity presented itself.
My most recent travels were to Asia. I went to Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and South Korea. It was an unforgettable experience and I met a lot of cool people. I solo traveled for about two weeks, which was a fun and exciting way to step out of my comfort zone. The picture on the right is me with some friends + fellow travelers in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam!
In my free time, I serve as a Junior Board Member for Tuesday’s Children, a nonprofit founded in the aftermath of 9/11 to support families affected by tragedy. The organization had a meaningful impact on my own life growing up, so it's been incredibly rewarding to come full circle and now support families navigating military loss and trauma.
In this role, I help organize fundraising events and liaise with corporate sponsors like Madison Square Garden, the New Jersey Devils, and other impactful organizations.
I’ve also been able to tie in one of my personal passions, running, to give back. I raised $3,300 while running the 2023 Madison Marathon and I’m stoked to run the 2025 NYC Marathon on behalf of Tuesday’s Children.
