Quote from the Supervisor:
“Makail is one of the most thoughtful students I’ve met and one of the hardest working. A fellow student writes of him: “Sometimes it feels like most of society has forgotten how to be human—but not Makail. Who he is, and the way he exists in this world, restores my faith in humanity on a continual basis.”

Another writes: “If I have a question about how something works on the farm, Makail is the first person I turn to. He is incredibly knowledgeable, a patient teacher, and a kind, steady presence. He leads by example, offering gentle correction and clear, thoughtful explanation. Any time I work with him, it feels like a true team—one where all perspectives and skill levels are genuinely appreciated and valued. It's impossible not to want to do your best when you're around him.”

…and my favorite: “Makail is the backbone of Sterling Farm. He quietly and steadily supports the entire system and everyone in it, never asking for recognition and always embodying humility.”
For so many reasons, Makail Tipton is a treasured member of the Sterling College community and this year’s nominee for the Work College Consortium Job Well Done Award.”
