PCC chooses new Public Affairs manager
Photos and story by James Hill
Portland Community College 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 PCC,” 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.
