Dr. Rosemarie Sampson has had a life-long connection with Mount Saint Vincent University – as a student, faculty member, and Dean. When Dean of Professional Studies during the 90s she was actively involved in the growth of the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging at Mount Saint Vincent University recognizing its potential as an interface between the university and the community. Dr. Sampson has always been committed to community service, volunteering her time and expertise on numerous boards and committees. Her interest in aging led to her serving on committees for the Department of Health – developing a strategic framework for long-term care, and Northwood –on the development of Ivany Place, Northwood’s Bedford location. Dr. Sampson also chaired the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging Committee for Project TWENTY12 (the campaign which supported the construction of the Margaret Norrie McCain Centre for Teaching, Learning and Research).
