Paxton Baker, executive vice president and general manager of CENTRIC, a channel within the Black Entertainment Television company, shared advice with Mississippi State students during his campus visit on Thursday. He encouraged them to develop relationships while in college, to deliver more than what others expect of them and to set high expectations for themselves. "Never settle for mediocrity," he told a classroom of communication students. MSU's Holmes Cultural Diversity Center sponsored his campus visit.
