Retiring Construction Science Professor Bob Segner

Tales were spun and tributes made during a roast honoring legendary Texas A&M construction science professor Bob Segner, who retired at the end of the 2016 semester after a stellar 46-year teaching career.

Segner’s former classmates, former students, family and friends crowded into the Francis Hall auditorium that bears his name for the roast, hosted by the Department of Construction Science.

One of his former students, Lauren Evans ’05, summarized Segner’s legacy.

“Aside from being a great man, he’s what I consider to be a giant in the industry,” said Evans, a university relations manager with Kiewit, a Nebraska-based contractor. “He champions all who thirst for knowledge and is one of the key components of the CoSci program.
