My mind cracked open at UMW so that all my curiosity and energy was stimulated,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>At Mary Washington, she built up an extensive portfolio that helped her land a job selling and designing ads for a Northern Virginia newspaper. From there, she worked as a consultant in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf somebody needed a poster, if somebody needed a handbill, I did that for them,\u201d said MacDonald. \u201cAnd I built a very impressive portfolio by volunteering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Cabot Creamery, MacDonald took a creative campaign approach in marketing for the community-based cooperative to support an ethical form of farming that places farmer\u2019s values on a higher level than production. She used what she calls a \u201cquilt-based\u201d system to effectively utilize scarce resources, making sure to include the community while gaining visibility.<\/p>\n<p>MacDonald donned cow-print pants and a shirt embellished with a heart that read, \u201cCabot farmers sent us to thank you\u201d during her presentation last week at UMW. The talk, titled \u00a0\u201cDancing Among Giants,\u201d centered on a small, award-winning dairy farm and co-operative prosperously competing with large corporations. MacDonald left students asking themselves how they, too, can do what they love and use their skillsets in an impactful way.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed the importance of volunteering, which helped her become the person she is today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realize that there are some classes you have to take that you don\u2019t love,\u201d said MacDonald, \u201cbut after the grind \u2026 do what you love, do what complements your business and your team\u2019s passion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alumna Roberta MacDonald credits the University of Mary Washington with giving her the tools it took to help launch her extraordinary 40-year marketing career.
