"I woke up one morning and I thought 'that's it. It's over'". Parting words from a Rollins College favorite, Evelyn Nicolosi. For those students who frequent Beans, Evelyn has been a part of the Rollins community for the past 28 years, beginning in 1978, and has just recently announced her retirement. Her retirement party on Monday gave students the opportunity to say good bye to the beloved Evelyn, whose never ending cheerfulness and animated spirit greeted students most mornings as they purchased their bit of calcium and potassium to start out their day. Celebrating with cake, cookies and punch, Evelyn received many hugs and cries of "we'll miss you" from students stopping by to wish her the best of luck. It was hard not to catch on to her enthusiasm and her warm open manner during the ceremony, as she and her husband were recognized by the college community.
Evelyn arrived to Rollins with her husband when they decided to start anew and begin a new life in Florida. Moving all the way from New York, Evelyn was told when applying to Rollins that there were just no open positions at the moment, to which she said, "That's fine, I have plenty of places to apply to." Luckily for Rollins, the school immediately changed its mind and Evelyn soon started working for the college.
Although sad to leave, Evelyn and her husband will be moving to Arizona in order to be closer to her kids and grandkids. After working for Rollins for 28 years, Evelyn and her husband are excited to start their retirement and be close with their family. After living in their two story home off Aloma, they are ready for the move and are simply waiting for the house to sell. For those of you looking for a new place, check out her fliers, they're posted around Beans.
Although we are sad to see her go, there is no doubt that all students wish Evelyn and her husband the best of luck in their move, and their new adventure in Arizona.
