Sabrina Kanner '80, vice president
for design and construction at Brookfield Financial Properties, which oversees
the $50 million reconstruction of the 10-story Winter Garden atrium at
the World Financial
Center, will speak at the Scholars
Luncheon on Tuesday, March 11, at noon
in Strauss Lounge, Reamer Campus
Center.
Kanner, who majored in English,
will discuss her more than 20 years of professional experience in the demanding
and highly competitive construction business, where she oversees a major reconstruction
project after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Kanner, who was recently profiled in
the Union College magazine and the New York Times, said “It's tough to be in the
construction business now, but back in the 80's it was the Wild West.”
Her husband Dr. Jed Kanner, graduated
from Union in 1978.
