Alumni Notes & Accomplishments
ANITA GALLENTINE ’74
ANITA GALLENTINE ’74major general (ret.), united states
air force
When she was a young girl in Lima, Ohio, Maj. Gen. Anita Gallentine ’74 would watch the planes fly overhead and dream of seeing the world as a flight attendant. Joining the Air Force ROTC never entered her mind until orientation day at BGSU in 1973.
“The ROTC was giving a briefing and my dad, who served in World War II and Korea, convinced me to go and listen to what they had to say,” Gallentine explained. “The Air Force detachment had a relationship with an airfield in Michigan that would fly cadets to Colorado and Florida occasionally. I decided that didn’t sound so bad. One year went into two, and then a lifetime.”
Life for female commissioned officers in the 1970s was challenging, especially for women entering the munitions field, which had just opened to them.
“I struggled a bit at first with where I fit in. I would be with the officers, but sometimes I’d want to be with the spouses at their social events. I couldn’t, though, because I wasn’t a military spouse.”
While talking to cadets during a recent visit to campus Air Force ROTC, Gallentine stressed the importance of mentors in the military, asked them to keep an open mind about opportunities they’re presented and implored them to “seek additional responsibilities and do more than you’re assigned; every job teaches you something.”
Gallentine’s career has taken her from Alaska to the Pentagon. She retired Nov. 1, 2012 after 36 years in the Air Force, but says she will always be proud she wore a uniform. Gallentine will return to BGSU to serve as a speaker at one of the May 2013 Commencement ceremonies.

Rick valicenti '73
Rick valicenti '73founder, thirst
Rick Valicenti ’73 is a celebrated graphic designer who leads an award-winning design firm and has been recognized by the White House for his lifetime contributions to his industry. But none of that matters much during his visits to BGSU, because his focus is building the confidence of students.
“Just trust your sensibilities,” Valicenti told budding artists in his recent master class. “I know it’s okay to feel self-doubt on some level, but just know how much can be done in an hour, and how much can be manifested in a couple hours.”
Valicenti has stayed connected to his alma mater throughout his distinguished career as an artist and founder of Thirst, a Chicago-based graphic design firm that creates art with function. Valicenti is a former president of the Society of Typographic Arts, a fellow of the AIGA/Chicago, and has received the highest honor in the graphic design industry: the AIGA Medal. He was also honored by the White House with the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award for Communication Design.
He spent five days on campus in October 2012 working directly with graphic design students. He spoke during a public lecture, led a selective master class for senior students and young alumni, and involved students in the planning and installation of his gallery exhibition, “Curiosities: Rick Valicenti + the 21st Century Thirst,” at the School of Art.
The on-campus exhibit demonstrated his wide-ranging design aesthetic, from architectural-inspired angle or fonts, to abstract elements of human features or faces, to experimental graphic patterns that resemble doodles.

NATHAN P. MCDONALD ’02
FASHION DESIGNER
Nathan P. McDonald II ’02 was recently featured as one of 16 fashion designers cast for the 10th season of Lifetime’s reality show “Project Runway.” Viewers know him as “Nathan Paul“.
With longtime aspirations to create his own fashion company, McDonald’s studies in the College of Business Administration included a specialization in supply chain management, which helped him understand manufacturing, and an internship in procurement at Ford Motor Co., which gave him practical experience in purchasing.
Ford hired him for a full-time position upon graduation; however, after three years, he left to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. Before “Project Runway,” McDonald showcased his designs for women in his clothing line, Nathaniel Paul, and partnered with another designer who created a custom shirt and clothing line for men, Michael Andrews Bespoke.
McDonald is one of five children of Falcon Flames Cassandra ’72 and Nathan P. McDonald ’72. His father became pastor of the Apostolic Christian Church in Zanesville, Ohio, after retiring as a nursing home administrator, and his mother is a member of the music faculty at Muskingum University. Two of his siblings, Leah and Micah, also
attended BGSU.
The 2002 graduate considers himself a fashion activist. “I want to be an advocate for those people that are deemed unattractive sizes or unattractive body shapes,” he said. “I come from an African American heritage, and traditionally my culture leads people to be overweight. Everyone deserves to be beautiful and to feel beautiful, and their clothes need to make them feel that way.”

Otto Schoeppler ’47, ’79 (Hon.) was recently appointed a “Chevalier” of the Legion of Honor by decree of the president of France during the Sarkozy administration. The Legion of Honor, or Légion d’honneur, is France’s highest order, or decoration, in recognition of bravery or honorable service to the country.
During World War II Schoeppler served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in Europe, and was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the Croix de Guerre.
In a letter from the French Ambassador to the United States, Schoeppler is praised for his merits and accomplishments. The letter states, “This testifies to President Sarkozy’s high esteem for your merits and accomplishments. In particular, it is a sign of France’s infinite gratitude and appreciation for your personal and precious contribution to the United States’ decisive role in the liberation of our country during World War II.”
Following graduation from BGSU he joined the Insurance Co. of North America and became general manager of its operations in Germany. He later joined Chase Manhattan Bank and, after becoming its manager in Germany, resigned to become a partner in a German private bank. He rejoined Chase in 1974 and was named president of Chase Manhattan Capital Markets Corp. and chairman of two subsidiaries in London and Hong Kong. After his 1985 retirement, Schoeppler continued as chairman of Chase Manhattan Ltd. in London and Chase Bank A.G. in Germany.
He received an honorary doctorate degree from BGSU in 1979, was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1980, and named one of the Prominent 100 Alumni during BGSU’s Centennial Celebration.

Rob SCHWARTZ ’00
Rob SCHWARTZ ’00Strength Training Coach, United States Olympic Committee
Rob Schwartz ’00, Colorado Springs, Colo., was busy behind the scenes of the London 2012 Olympics, a decade after his first job as a trainer for Falcon football. As a strength training coach with the United States Olympic Committee, Schwartz helped at least 30 Olympians to capture medals this season. He trains athletes in combat and acrobatic sports, including the most famous competitors in swimming, gymnastics and boxing, and those involved in niche sports such as fencing and judo.
Schwartz intended to continue his BGSU education to become a physical therapist in order to help cardiac patients. He decided during an internship at a rehabilitation center in Florida that his high intensity level was better suited for athletics. He turned down a job offer of $50,000 at the center in favor of a $6,000 job with Falcon football assisting the strength coaches. Though it was a decision that would make most parents cringe, the financial sacrifice was worth it to Schwartz. The connections he made through Falcon football took his career from the University of Houston to the Cleveland Indians. He led a private training facility before pursuing his current role with the United States Olympic Committee.
Schwartz recognizes that his career path may have been different if not for BGSU. He believes that embracing his initial “undecided” major and surpassing his internship requirements as a BGSU student helped him explore his career options and ultimately discover his passion.
