Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service
The Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service is an annual award administered by the Princeton Area Community Foundation and given to a member of the Princeton, NJ public who has shown longstanding service to the community.[1]
Leslie “Bud” Vivian '42[edit]
Leslie Langdon Vivian Jr. (1919-1995), known as Bud, was a graduate of the Princeton Class of 1942, a WWII veteran, and lifelong academic administrator at Princeton University.[2] Vivian retired in 1986 as Associate Secretary of the University after a 37 year administrative career that included 16 years as the Director of Community and Regional Affairs.[3]
The Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service[edit]
The Leslie “Bud” Vivian Memorial Fund at the Princeton Area Community Foundation was established in 1995 after Vivian's death.[2][4] His classmates from the Princeton University Class of 1942, together with sixteen Princeton-area organizations, established the Fund to honor their friend and classmate for his service to the Princeton community.[3] The award, the Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service, is given annually to a member of the community who has shown strong interest in giving back to Central Jersey.[5][1] The award recognizes those who showed a similar commitment to the Princeton community as Vivian did.[6][7]
Guidelines for Nominations[edit]
Nominations are sent to the Princeton Area Community Foundation. Each year, a winner is chosen by the Vivian Award Selection Committee.[7]
Prize[edit]
The fund makes a grant each year to one or more local nonprofit organizations chosen by the award recipient.[7]
