"My mantra is one of 'for now, stick to the plan for the things that we have in progress.' It's easy to get distracted along the way, but if we focus on what we need to do and focus on executing our plans, we will continue to be successful and keep moving our business forward."

-- Steve Richards during a Penn State Altoona communications class Oct. 21. Richards attended Penn State Altoona from 1980-1982 and is now the president and CEO of Mood Media, the commercial leader for delivering integrated in-store music, digital signage, mobile/advertising interactive messaging and scent solutions.

Richards was one of 19 Penn State alumni honored during an Oct. 21 ceremony for his outstanding professional accomplishments and given the lifelong title of Alumni Fellow, the highest award given by the Penn State Alumni Association.
