Cucumber, Tomato, & Feta Salad

An AVP responsible for essential works at a Catholic educational settlement may inherit obligations extending beyond ordinary physical stewardship. Chapels, shrines, cemeteries, religious art and spaces for worship carry sacramental and cultural significance as well as maintenance costs. Capital decisions may therefore require consultation with clergy, religious orders and diocesan authorities alongside trustees, architects and engineers. The liturgical calendar can influence operations while Catholic social teaching may shape decisions about labor, energy, land and investment. At a secular settlement these considerations may exist as heritage or community concerns; at a Catholic institution they remain part of the living mission the physical estate serves.

We follow up on yesterday’s topic: Examination of the Job Summary of the recently hired Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. We explore the duties of the highest level settlement functionary responsible for the beauty and economics of essential works of our settlements.

The CFO leads capital improvement planning, construction and campus development; oversees maintenance and facilities operations; evaluates real estate opportunities; directs acquisition, disposition, sale and leasing transactions; and helps steward University assets in alignment with the institutional Master Plan.

“Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they’ll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields… and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?” — Sam Gamgee (J.R.R.

Backflow

The University has a strong reputation for research and innovation in many fields related to the prevention of backflow incidents:

Viterbi School of Engineering has a dedicated Environmental Engineering program that focuses on water quality and management. This program has faculty members who are experts in water treatment and distribution systems, including backflow prevention technologies. The school also offers research opportunities for graduate students to work on water-related projects, including those related to backflow prevention.

Keck School of Medicine has a Department of Preventive Medicine that conducts research on environmental health, including waterborne diseases and contamination. This department has published research on the prevention of waterborne disease outbreaks and the importance of backflow prevention measures in protecting public health.

The USC Environmental Health and Safety department is responsible for overseeing the safety and compliance of the university’s facilities, including its water systems. EH&S works closely with the university’s Facilities Management Services to ensure that backflow prevention measures are in place and maintained.

The USC Foundation drafts definitions and specifications covering cross-connection control and the assemblies required for the prevention of backflow.
