Elmo Natali: Vice President Emeritus California University of Pennsylvania
Elmo Natali began his professional career at California University in 1962 as a professor of education and assistant football coach. During the next thirty years he served the students at Cal U in various positions in the area of student affairs and in 1977 was named Vice President for Student Affairs. It was during the final years of his term as vice president that the student center was designed and constructed.
Mr. Natali attended then California State College in the early 1950's and played football for the Vulcans. He at one time held the single season rushing record for the Vulcans and in 1992, his jersey number, 34, was retired.
As former President John Watkins said at the time of Natali's retirement "Mr. Natali's complete dedication to this university has made it a better place..."
