Title:

Work belt from Sue Cosentini - Back

Description:

This leather work belt belongs to Sue Cosentini ‘80, a Cornell alumna and local homebuilder and developer. She is part of the Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame as the first (and only) Cornellian to play two varsity women’s sports in a single season. After graduation, she began working in the male-dominated field of construction and has built and renovated hundreds of homes over the decades. Her companies, Cosentini Construction and New Earth Living, focus on sustainable building design and co-housing. In addition to the Aurora Pocket Neighborhood, located in the Fall Creek neighborhood of Ithaca, she is building a new co-housing community called Amabel Pocket Neighborhood on Floral Ave along the Cayuga Lake inlet. The work belt is worn while on construction job sites, and provides easy access to a range of materials needed while building, from nails to carpenter’s pencils.
