philanthropist, to speak on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. in Hostetter Chapel. Mr. Hathaway retired in 2008 as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harsco Corporation, one of the world’s leading diversified industrial services companies with businesses in construction, steel, energy and railways. He oversaw the growth of Harsco’s market capitalization from $250 million in 1994 to more than $5 billion upon his retirement, with 22,000 employees in 50 countries. As a native of the United Kingdom, Mr. Hathaway’s career began at the age of 16 when he left school to work as a junior draftsman at a Birmingham heating and engineering firm. By night, he took classes in mechanical engineering and management accounting. At 22, he co-founded a firm that manufactured industrial heating units. Six years later, his company went public and ultimately was acquired by Harsco. At the age of 40, Mr. Hathaway moved to the United States to work in Harsco’s headquarters near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
