Thomas Natole Recipient of the Timothy Breidegam Scholarship An operations associate with Broadridge Financial Solutions in Philadelphia, Thomas Natole ’15 enjoys a dream job—one that combines his education in mathematics and marketing management with his love of sports. “Broadridge is a transfer agent for many companies, such as Disney, Rite Aid, and Best Buy, but I am fortunate that much of my work is with the Green Bay Packers,” says Natole, who played varsity football all four years for Moravian College. Natole grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, and is the fourth in a line of kids that includes two sisters, two stepbrothers, and one stepsister. The first-generation student knew that going to college would allow him to pursue a life-affirming career and give him an opportunity to continue to play football. Moravian filled the bill. Natole flourished here as a student, as an athlete, and in so many other ways. He was involved in student government and the Moravian College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. He interned in the office of the president, achieved dean’s list honors from fall 2012 through spring 2015, and made the 2014 Centennial Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll. “Receiving the Timothy Breidegam Scholarship was definitely a factor in my family’s ability to help me afford a private education,” says Natole. “Without it, I may have considered other options but would have been disappointed in not being able to come to Moravian. “Moravian College has provided me with so many outstanding opportunities and will most definitely continue to influence my career and future endeavors.”
