LWC Students gain real world experience in marketing competition Lindsey Wilson College student Anastasiia Vorobiova is as close as it comes to being an expert on McDonald's. That made the business administration senior an ideal person to help the international fast-food restaurant chain improve its customer experience with take-out and delivery orders. Vorobiova was one of four students from the Lindsey Wilson "Marketing Research" who took part in Marketing Research Competition, a national competition sponsored by an Illinois organization of the same name. Student groups at U.S. colleges and universities were charged with solving a marketing challenge faced by a major corporation. For the Lindsey Wilson quartet, they had to help McDonald's improve their take-out and delivery orders - something that Vorobiova said hits close to home. "I'm a huge fan," said Vorobiova, a junior from Odessa, Ukraine, whose major includes a marketing emphasis. "I tried to think about what I would want to change at McDonald's when I order there. I get a lot of deliveries to my dorm, so I was thinking how could I improve my experience and what I would want to see when I receive my order. I think that helped me a lot to think about this project as a customer." Also on Vorobiova's team were fellow Lindsey Wilson students Randall Camfield, a business administration senior from Columbia; David Requejo Hernandez, a communication and business administration double junior with an emphasis in marketing from Salamanca, Spain; and Alida Leles, a business administration junior with an emphasis in marketing from Vila Praia de Ancora, Portugal.
