Social Media and Content Specialist on the Walla Walla Campus.
At Walla Walla Community College, we inspire all students to discover their potential and achieve their goals by providing relevant, equitable, and innovative learning opportunities and services. As an organization, we value learning opportunities, a sense of community, diversity, health and humor, excellence, integrity, teamwork, innovation, personal and professional growth, and sustainability.
General Responsibilities
The part-time Social Media and Content Specialist position plays a direct, high-impact role in advancing a college's mission-centered on access, opportunity, and community impact. This position turns the college's mission from a statement into daily, visible impact-reaching people, building trust, and driving action.
At its core, the role translates the mission into consistent, visible action:
- Expanding access and awareness By promoting programs, financial aid (like Warrior Pledge), and flexible learning options, social content removes barriers and helps prospective students understand that college is attainable.

- Strengthening community connection Social media serves as a front door to the college. Highlighting partnerships, local impact, and student success stories reinforces the institution's role in supporting vibrant communities and regional workforce development.
- Supporting enrollment and retention goals Strategic content-deadlines, program highlights, student services-guides students from interest to enrollment. This directly supports enrollment growth and student persistence.
- Humanizing the college experience Through storytelling-faculty features, student journeys, classroom moments-the role builds a sense of belonging. This is critical to a mission focused on inclusion and student success.
- Ensuring brand clarity and trust Consistent, accurate, and on-brand messaging reinforces credibility. In times of change or uncertainty, social channels also serve as a reliable source of truth for students, employees, and the public.
- Amplifying institutional priorities Whether it's launching new programs, promoting workforce pathways, or communicating strategic initiatives, the role ensures the college's priorities are clearly and consistently communicated to the right audiences.
