The Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service

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.[13] 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.[14] The Leslie “Bud” Vivian Memorial Fund at the Princeton Area Community Foundation was established in 1995 after Vivian's death.[13][15][16] 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.[14] 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.[17][18] The award recognizes those who showed a similar commitment to the Princeton community as Vivian did.[19][20] The fund makes a grant each year to one or more local nonprofit organizations chosen by the award recipient.
