About the award
The Robert Sampson Memorial Award was established through donations received by family, friends and colleagues to honour the late Robert Sampson. In addition to being a valued educator, leader and colleague, Robert was a mentor and friend to many in the NSCC community. Robert served the College in many ways and at the time of Robert’s passing, was the Academic Chair of the School of Trades and Technology for the Institute of Technology Campus.

Robert’s personal values and his passion for student success were closely aligned with NSCC’s commitment to providing pathways for all learners – regardless of educational background. He had a special interest in working with learners who might not otherwise have had an opportunity for post-secondary education, and he supported them in their learning journey to help them achieve their goals. This award will continue his belief in a student’s ability to succeed and for all the ways he encouraged and supported that success.
