Port St. Lucie resident Christopher Arnold is the Indian River State College August 2023 Team Member of the Month. Chris started at IRSC in October 2021 to join the Marketing Media and Brand team, taking on the role of Social Media Specialist.
Chris is both an exemplary team member and coworker. During his time at IRSC, Chris has signifiganlty enhanced how the College approaches social media. As the social media voice of the College, Chris is interactive, helpful and interesting. He seeks to convey a positive narrative tone in every post in ways that are both endearing and humorous. He watches online trends and best practices to enhance IRSC’s social media reach and engagement. As a coworker, Chris is supportive, kind and always willing to listen and give smart and honest feedback to help with potential challenges.
Additionally, Chris convenes a monthly content creators’ group where he shares tips and informs the actions of the College’s many independent social media pages to help create a veritable army of talented content creators within the College community. The content creators’ group has fostered an environment where individual departments are empowered and supported when they create their own content. Chris is incredibly creative, reliable and thoughtful. Above all, he is willing to do what it takes to get the job done—even that includes donning a mascot suit and high-fiving graduates at commencement.
Chris’ colleagues readily speak with regard to his outstanding work and unique ability to reach the IRSC student body through our social channels. “Who would have thought a Gen X introvert would find a way to connect with an incredibly diverse, multi-generational student body—when you’re honest, thoughtful and empathetic like Chris, apparently that’s what happens.” They continue, adding, “Our team would not be the same without his insight, collaboration and, most importantly, his humor.”
CONGRATULATIONS, CHRIS
