About

In terms of scholarship of teaching, Dr. Haynes teaching courses related to historical and contemporary issues in student affairs administration and leadership and the use of qualitative research methods in higher education administration research. While he occasionally teach face-to-face courses, Dr. Haynes specializes in teaching online in both synchronous and asynchronous modalities. He designs his courses to meet the UF+Quality Matters (UF+QM) standards for online course quality.

Dr. Haynes' scholarship agenda has four foci. The primary focus is on the experiences of students, faculty, and staff within living-learning programs (LLPs). The second focus explores the graduate student experience, while the third focus is on student affairs experiences in the community college setting. The final focus explores the process of conducting qualitative research within higher education and student affairs.

Through his teaching, research, and service, Dr. Haynes provides opportunities and spaces for faculty, staff, and students to interact and collaborate. His work encourages others to provide similar opportunities by conducting research and assessing these learning opportunities. He hopes to foster a love of learning among his students and develop future leaders and innovators in student affairs and higher education.
