People of AUC
When I started here in 2002, it was the dream of any young man like me to work in a respectful place like this. My top priority has always been to protect this University and everyone inside of it. I want people to appreciate the work of security guards, and people here do. They always help me do my job to the best of my ability by listening to me and doing what I ask. They understand that I'm just performing my duty and I'm doing it for them.
