Dwight Haun

Who is playing on your iPod? I enjoy listening to various artists on Christian radio, singing along as I drive (the collection at home is quite eclectic; gospel, jazz, classical, contemporary Christian, . . .)

What book are you currently reading?I'm reading "Measure of a Man" by Gene Getz and working through "The Love Dare" with my wife.

What is the best getaway location, local or abroad? Anywhere with my wife . . . and if it is near a golf course, that would be fine with me :-) .

Current Research: Actually none currently underway – but an interest in the effect of middle school teams on the attrition of beginning middle level teachers.

Why do you enjoy teaching at SBU? "Several reasons - (1) It is my passion and calling; (2) I have always enjoyed working with students and, in the case of SBU, the very best students; (3) the camaraderie experienced with fellow faculty and staff members; (4) the opportunity to influence those who will serve Christ as teachers in a variety of settings; and, (5) my family calls Bolivar home and it is a great place to work and live. "
