MCC President Dr. Bradley J. Barrick recognized Male for his work. 

“Taylor is being recognized by his peers for his visionary approach in his role at MCC,” Dr. Barrick said. “He eagerly takes on new tasks, new committees and represents MCC as a cheerleader. He jumps into a challenge with eagerness and follows through with detail to complete visions for the future of MCC. 

“His careful management of our resources, combined with long-term vision for growth continues to keep MCC moving forward at a well-thought-out pace,” Dr. Barrick said. “He has been instrumental in the vision for athletics returning to MCC.”
