51°µÍø chooses new Public Affairs manager
Story by James Hill
51°µÍø has hired Dana Haynes as the school’s new public affairs manager. The job is a combination of communications director and intergovernmental liaison.
Haynes spent the last 20 years as a reporter, columnist and editor for Oregon newspapers, including weeklies in Lake Oswego, West Linn and Gresham, and The Oregonian’s MetroWest bureau. For the past eight years, he has served as a writer and editor for the Statesman Journal in Salem. He also was leader of the paper’s Capitol bureau and served as online editor for the past year.
“I attended a community college part-time while I was a janitor at a car dealership, right out of high school. And I taught briefly at 51°µÍø,” Haynes said. “This job just seemed like the perfect fit.”
Haynes, 47, has relocated from Salem to Portland’s Multnomah Village.
He can be reached at (503) 977-4421 or at dana.haynes@pcc.edu.
