speeches, crafted State of the College addresses. I was available
for whatever he needed.”
Treadwell served as Massey’s executive assistant from
2009 until 2014; he became administrative director of
legislative and executive communication from 2014 until
2020. He was named chief of staff during the last months of
Massey’s tenure.
During the final year of Massey’s presidency, Treadwell
was awarded the college’s highest honor, the President’s Cup.
When Moore took over as college president in September
2020, Treadwell continued in the chief of staff role until September,
when he was named president of the Pruitt Campus
in St. Lucie West.
“IRSC campus presidents serve in our communities as lead
ambassadors of the college,” Moore said at the time. “I look
forward to seeing the tremendous impact Andy will have as
the Pruitt Campus president. He brings a wealth of insight
and experience essential to this vital role at IRSC.”
Treadwell, in turn, gave Moore a nod.
“He has a very different approach and has pushed me into
new things and helped me grow,” he said.
FULL AGENDA
For now, Treadwell admits he’s on a steep learning curve in
St. Lucie West.
Along with meeting many people on campus and out in
the community, he’s becoming well-versed in some of the
more mundane aspects of running a college campus with
9,000 students. That includes knowing far too much about
keeping the toilets flushing and spending part of his Thanksgiving
break working with Florida Power & Light officials >>
