Biographical Note

David C. Hardesty, Jr. holds degrees from West Virginia University, Oxford University (which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar), and Harvard Law School. He also attended advanced courses in higher education leadership and decision theory at Harvard University.

Hardesty was the 21st president and CEO of West Virginia University from 1995-2007. While president, he served as chair of WVU Hospitals, Inc. and United Health System. WVU is a multi-campus public research university with comprehensive health sciences education. It enrolled approximately 35,000 students on all of its campuses in his last year as president.

While President, Hardesty led efforts to develop more than 25 student centered programs, including the first faculty led residential colleges in the university's history. These efforts resulted in rapid expansion of the university student body. He also led efforts to focus WVU's research programs, establish the world's first forensic science and biometrics degrees, increase the university's outreach and service activities, and create a new hospital system. WVU achieved a national reputation in the science of biometrics during his presidency. The health system he chaired expanded to become the largest in West Virginia.

While serving as president, Hardesty was a member of the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board; Chairman of the National 4-H Council; a director and officer in the Big East Conference; and a member of the Bowl Championship Series Presidential Oversight Committee. He was a founding director of the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute.

Prior to becoming president of WVU, Hardesty engaged in the private practice of law in Charleston with Bowles Rice for 19 years and served as State Tax Commissioner during Senator John D. Rockefeller IV's first term as governor of West Virginia (1977-80).

Hardesty is a former member of the Board of Directors of Consol Energy, Inc., and is Of Counsel to the law firm of Bowles Rice. He has previously been a member of and chaired several charitable, civic, economic development, business, and education related boards.

Mr. Hardesty is the recipient of several honorary degrees and citations, including designation as a Distinguished West Virginian, West Virginian of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C., induction into the West Virginia Business Hall of Fame, induction into The National 4-H Hall of Fame, receipt of The National Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, and designation as a Graduate of Distinction by the West Virginia Education Alliance.

In 2009, the Festival of Ideas speakers' series at WVU was endowed and named in honor of Hardesty, who helped to found the series in 1966 when he was student body president. An annual lecture at the WVU Cancer Center is also named in his honor.

Hardesty is a frequent speaker on subjects related to the legal profession, higher education, and leadership. He and his wife, Susan, are co-authors of Leading the Public University, Essays, Speeches and Commentary, published for West Virginia University by the WVU Press (2007). He has facilitated retreats and other meetings of boards and community groups for over three decades.
