25 Years of Service: Alfredo Ruiz
Director, University Apartments, Residence Life
For 25 years, Alfredo Ruiz has served at University Apartments. Alfredo meets the difficult task of managing aging facilities for our graduate students and families with a positive attitude and a thankful heart.
In addition to his role as director of University Apartments, Alfredo has served on the board of God’s Abundant Pantry over the years, helping to ensure his residents have the resources they need to feed their families during their time at Andrews University. Alfredo manages to handle the stressors of his responsibilities with ease and grace, never letting them get him down or discouraged.
He responds quickly whenever there is a need. He loves his residents and team members and treats everyone with kindness and respect. He is always willing to consider ways to help students whenever he is able to do so.
Alfredo’s team members share that “He leads by example. He is always willing to listen and try to resolve the office problems, whether he is dealing with a resident or a worker. He is a good example of what a Christian is like, someone who is like Jesus.” AND “Alfredo is one of the best bosses I have ever had. I know I can come to him with anything. He gently instructs and corrects. And, he has the best sense of humor! We can laugh, joke, and tease each other (in a good way). I love working here and Alfredo is one of the biggest reasons!”
Alfredo is a strong man of faith who shows what it is to serve our Creator. He models what it is to work hard without expectation of reward. We are blessed to have the Christ-like influence of Alfredo in Graduate Residence Life as he goes above and beyond his responsibilities to truly impact the lives of our Andrews University students and families.
Thank you, Alfredo, for 25 years of dedicated service at Andrews University.
