By Lisa Sarti I can still hear her signature Ciao Corazon! loudly greeting me upon her arrival … her songs bringing a cheerful atmosphere to the whole department. You will be missed Alicia. You may Rest In Peace ?
By Inés Carrera-Junco Cuando yo empecé a trabajar aquí, y estábamos en el quinto piso todavía, creo que era la primavera del 2011, Alicia fue la única persona que me ayudó a tener mi primer correo electrónico y Bb. Alicia me explicó dónde ir a buscar el correo (el sótano) […]
By Victor Murillo I taught an 8 am class one semester. I was in around 7:25 am and Alicia was already there most of the time. We shared a lot of good conversations about school and current events. I enjoyed those one on one colleague’s exchanges; she shared some of […]
By Rachel Corkle Often Alicia and I were the only people in the department, it seemed, before 8am. Inevitably the copy machine was not working, but Alicia always had a secret stash of paper and some kind of magic to make everything work…or at least work just enough. She was […]
By Maria Enrico Food left in my office because she knew I don’t cook, but love to eat. A five course Venezuelan lunch for my birthday. Helping me make my online classes beautiful. Sharing our love of Nina Simone. Sneaking out for a cigarette. A knock on my classroom door […]
By Kristina Alicia was always cheerful, and she never let the stress of the job weigh her down. She was always looking to lift our spirits when in the office. She will be greatly missed.
By Xiomara Abud This is what I will always remember about Alicia: Her selfless generosity; never expecting anything in return. Her face, always portraying a beautiful smile. I loved teasing her whenever I wore pink, her favorite color. We also had discussions about the president of her country, Venezuela, and […]
¡Una de las canciones favoritas de Alicia! De las Hermanas Benítez ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Corazón de melón, de melón, melón, melón, melón, melón, corazón. Corazón de melón, de melón, melón, melón, melón, melón, corazón. Luna, dime corazón de melón desde que la conocí no hago yo más que pensar en ellos, en ellos, […]
I will never forget how much I enjoyed this singing duo: The double As. Alicia and Alejandro both shined at singing this iconic song called “Orgasmo”. As you can see, they had fun and projected their enthusiasm to the whole department. We were celebrating our infamous end of the year […]
Feliz cumpleaños, Alicia Paquita Suárez Coalla El 28 de julio del 2009, Alicia Perdomo y yo fuimos a tomar un vino a La Pizarra, una terraza que había junto a la catedral de Oviedo, para celebrar su cumpleaños. Cumplía 46 y, más que su aniversario, Alicia celebraba la oportunidad que […]
I can’t say enough about Alicia’s humanity, solidarity, and generous soul. She was always there to help with anything and everything. She would call me specifically to let me know that she knew I was super busy and that I should count on her to help with anything. Once, several […]
“We’ll do it together” I would like to share this anecdote about Alicia which I believe is a testament to her collegiality and generosity to her colleagues. On July 8th & 9th I attended a Blackboard workshop that Alicia volunteered to hold for the MLD faculty and staff. She had […]
By Elizabeth Manukian Back when I first started working at BMCC, Alicia was the first to give me such a warm departmental welcome with her “Como estas, mi amor”…never did a day go by for ten years when she didn’t greet me in her friendly way, as she did others. […]
The last time I saw Alicia was at our May departmental meeting on zoom. I told her she should not be smoking a big cigar during a meeting. She gave me the finger. And I was not even wearing pink! That’s the last image I have of her.
