TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 2026

Dear Members of the Syracuse University Community:

Today is a great day to be Orange!

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my profound honor and privilege to announce that J. Michael Haynie has been appointed the 13th chancellor and president of Syracuse University, effective July 1, 2026. The Board acted unanimously on the recommendation of the Executive Committee, a vote that reflects our full and collective confidence in the bright future this brings to Syracuse University.

The Board of Trustees will formally announce Chancellor-elect Haynie’s appointment at 10 a.m. Please join us via livestream to celebrate this moment with us.

From the very beginning, we were committed to a search defined by genuine community engagement. Hundreds of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University showed up—in listening sessions, through a campuswide survey and in direct conversation—to help us understand what this institution needs at this moment in its history. What emerged was a portrait of a leader: someone who loves Syracuse University deeply, who understands what is possible here and who carries a bold, unwavering belief in what comes next.

I want to express my deep gratitude to our search committee co-chairs, Shelly L. Fisher ’80 and Elisabeth “Lisa” Fontenelli ’86. Shelly and Lisa approached this work with an extraordinary combination of diligence, wisdom and care. They built a process worthy of this university, attracted a high-caliber pool of candidates and led the committee with the kind of integrity that made every member of this community proud.

I am also grateful to every member of the search committee. You gave generously of your time and judgment at a critical juncture for this institution. The voices of your colleagues, classmates and peers that you helped to amplify throughout this process were essential. That input will continue to guide us as we move forward. Thank you.

Mike Haynie is, at his core, a scholar, an innovator, a builder and a leader. For more than two decades, he has poured himself into Syracuse’s academic community. He joined the Whitman School of Management in 2006 as a professor of entrepreneurship, earned the Barnes Professorship, was named University Professor—the highest academic honor the faculty can confer—and became executive dean of the Whitman School. He has built a reputation as one of the nation’s foremost researchers in entrepreneurship, innovation and strategy.

Mike’s work building the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families and the National Veterans Resource Center at the Daniel and Gayle D’Aniello Building has established Syracuse University as the best place for veterans and Mike as a dedicated veterans advocate and thought leader.

What distinguishes Mike is not simply the length of his record, remarkable as it is. It is the spirit behind his achievements. He is entrepreneurial, courageous and deeply committed to the people this university exists to serve—our students, our faculty, our staff and the broader world we are here to improve. He does not speak about Syracuse University from the outside looking in. He speaks from inside it, with a love for this place that is bone-deep.

When Mike says that Syracuse University is home—and he has said exactly that—he means it. And today, we welcome him home in a new and historic way.

I am more optimistic about the future of this institution than I have ever been. We have the right leader, at the right moment, with the right foundation to build upon. Please join me in congratulating Chancellor-elect Mike Haynie and thanking him for his continued service to our great institution.

With gratitude and pride,

Jeff Scruggs
Chairman, Board of Trustees
