Michael Haynie<\/h1>\n<p><b>Term of Office:<\/b> May 2026 &#8211; \n<br><b>Inauguration Date:<\/b> 18 September 2026\n<\/p>\n\n<p>J. Michael Haynie joined the faculty of Syracuse University\u2019s Whitman School of Management in 2006 following 14 years of service in the United States Air Force. His research and teaching portfolio focused on entrepreneurship and innovation, and he was widely recognized for his contributions in those fields. In 2011, Haynie founded Syracuse University\u2019s D\u2019Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families, the nation\u2019s first interdisciplinary academic institute dedicated to advancing the policy, economic, and wellness concerns of America\u2019s veterans and military-connected families. He also championed the development of the National Veterans Resource Center, located on the University\u2019s main campus. In 2014, Haynie was named vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation. Chancellor Syverud tasked him with leading the University\u2019s institutional response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and his leadership during that time earned Haynie Syracuse University\u2019s highest honor, the Chancellor\u2019s Medal. In 2023, he added the role of executive dean of the Whitman School to his portfolio. Following 20 years of service and leadership at Syracuse University, Haynie was appointed as the 13th Chancellor and President in March 2026 and began serving as acting chancellor in April 2026, following Kent Syverud\u2019s early departure from the position. Haynie\u2019s official term of office began the following month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"exhibits-media-card exhibits-media-card-left\">\n<div class=\"exhibits-media-card-media\">\n<figure aria-describedby=\"image1-desc\">\n<script type='text\/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(function(){var viewer=OpenSeadragon({id: 'deepzoomContainer0',prefixUrl:'https:\/\/digitalexhibits.syr.edu\/chancellors\/wp-content\/plugins\/zoom-openseadragon\/images\/',collectionRows:false,collectionColumns:3,showNavigationControl:true,showZoomControl:true,showHomeControl:true,showFullPageControl:true,showRotationControl:false,showSequenceControl:true,sequenceMode:false,showReferenceStrip:false,showNavigator:true,navigatorId:\"\",navigatorPosition:'TOP_RIGHT',referenceStripSizeRatio:0.2,referenceStripScroll:'horizontal',referenceStripPosition:'BOTTOM_LEFT',tileSources: [{title:'test',tileSource:'\/data\/chancellors\/ch13\/haynie_meh_chancellorhaynie_00060.dzi'}]});\n\tviewer.curItem=viewer.initialPage;\n\tviewer.curZoom=viewer.initialPage;\n\t\n\tviewer.goTo = function(index) {  \/\/ zoom on specific resource from those on screen             \n\t     this.curItem=index;    \n\t     if (this.sequenceMode) this.goToPage(this.curItem);\n\t     else this.viewport.fitBounds(this.world.getItemAt(this.curItem).getBounds());\n\t     this.curZoom=this.curItem;  \n       \n\t}\n\tviewer.hitTest = function(position) { \/\/ return resource under cursor\n\t    var box;\n\t    var count = this.world.getItemCount();\n\t    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {\n\t        box = this.world.getItemAt(i).getBounds();\n\t        if (position.x > box.x && \n\t                position.y > box.y && \n\t                position.x < box.x + box.width &&\n\t                position.y < box.y + box.height) {\n\t            return i;\n\t        }\n\t    }\n\t\n\t    return -1;\n\t}\n\tviewer.showMeta = function (i) \n\t       {                        \n\t       if (i!=-1) {\n\t           var title=this.tileSources[i].title;\n\t           if (title!='') jQuery('#deepzoomCaption0').html(title);\t          \n\t          }\n\t      \n\t       }\n\tviewer.addHandler('page', function (data) {\n\t   viewer.showMeta(data.page);\n\t  \n\t});\n\tviewer.addHandler('canvas-click', function(event) {\n\t    if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) return;\n\t                       \n\t    var index = viewer.hitTest(viewer.viewport.pointFromPixel(event.position));   \n\t    if ((index !== -1)&&(index!=viewer.curZoom)) {\n\t        event.preventDefaultAction = true;\n\t        viewer.goTo(index); \n\t        viewer.showMeta(index);                         \n\t    }\n\t\n\t});\n\t\n    \n        if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) viewer.showMeta(viewer.initialPage);\n   \n\t\n\t\n\t});<\/script><figure  style='width: 360px' class='wp-caption alignnone'><div class='deepzoomContainer' id='deepzoomContainer0' style='width: 360px; height: 400px;'><\/div><figcaption id='deepzoomCaption0' class='wp-caption-text'><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"image1-desc\" class=\"exhibits-media-card-text\">\n<b>Portrait of Chancellor and President J.
