‘05 Initially planning to pursue a career in an engineering, time as a volunteer at several hospitals as a sophomore steered him toward medicine. He worked with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on projects related to lead poisoning prevention and drowning prevention during college, and stayed on after graduation, before attending Rowan (formerly the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey School of Osteopathic Medicine). Razvi is currently starting a residency in family medicine—in which he plans to specialize—with the Christiana Care Health System in Delaware.
Joe Hathaway During his days at CHS, Joe Hathaway was a bit of an introvert. He was soft-spoken—a gentle giant, if you will.

That’s coach Ron Agnello and Fighting Mustangs captains Joe Hathaway, Bryan Barker, Emmanuel Ihim and Tom Jacobus handing the game ball to lineman Tom Szeiber after his leg was broken in a 32-24 victory over Eastside on Oct. 1., 2004.

Even though I was one of the quieter kids in school, I always enjoyed classes that allowed me to develop the strong communication skills that would end up being critical to my career.” As quiet as he may have been in the halls, he was loud on the football field. A 6-4, 240-pound tight end/defensive end, he was an AllPassaic County player for Clifton on offense. In addition, he broke the indoor and spring shot put records for the Mustang track teams.
