MSI Spotlight: Marcellus Alexander

Greetings,

I am Marcellus Alexander, President of the NAB Education Foundation (NABEF). In that role, my responsibilities include oversight of our Foundation’s programs. The Media Sales Institutes (MSI) provide very important training by NABEF in cooperation with our university partners, and are of personal interest to me. You see, I had the privilege of having Ernie Fears, Jr., the founder of this program and former HU professor, as my mentor. I am committed to evolving and keeping the program fresh and relevant to our industry.

The Media Sales Institute at Howard University helps prepare its graduates to succeed in the media sales space, while putting them for on a path for growth and advancement in the broadcast industry. Graduates of this program begin their search for important sales positions by presenting to and talking with recruiters from major media companies. In competing for these jobs, they enjoy a distinct advantage over others due to this effective training.

“I strongly recommend that upcoming, rising seniors who have an interest in being the best in media sales, apply to participate in this career enhancing opportunity!” - MA
