“I’ve worked under very powerful leaders and this is my
first opportunity to make decisions, and there are so many
practical and operational decisions to be made, but I’m loving
every minute,” Treadwell said.
The Pruitt Campus is poised for major growth in the next
12 months or so. The School of Nursing will relocate there
from the main campus in Fort Pierce. Eventually, Treadwell
hopes the Nursing Department will expand from its 130-150
graduates a year to more than 300, which will help supply
some of the 60,000 trained nurses Florida will need by 2035.
In December, Treadwell unveiled formal plans for the new
Veterans Center of Excellence to be housed in the Schreiber
Center. This is intended as a hub for veteran students and
job retraining after their military service, one of Moore’s
key initiatives.
FUTURE PLANS
Treadwell also expects to be spending much of his time in
the community, in particular working with the Economic Development
Council of St. Lucie County, where he once held a
six-month vice president position back in the early 2000s.
He noted the blistering pace of new commercial development
in St. Lucie County and is determined to make sure the
college is ready to build a pipeline of trained workers for the
expected employment surge.
As for Treadwell’s future aspirations, he mused on becoming
president of a state college within the next decade. He
also harbors an old itch to run for political office someday.
Whatever route Treadwell takes and wherever his passions
lead him, his No. 1 priority is family.
“My parents and my wife, Katie, are my inspiration,” he
said. “I love the college and my career but there’s no more joy
for me than seeing my children and wife do well. Everything
else comes second.”
Treadwell is a young-at-heart leader who has a very bright
future ahead of him. Under his watch, the Pruitt Campus
seems destined for great things. E
