Amanda Sampson

Amanda Sampson is a Research Assistant at the Institute for Global Citizenship and Equity, and brings a unique blend of experiences to her role. After years of working in marketing and advertising design in print and broadcast media, Amanda pursued a post graduate certificate in Human Resources Management from Centennial, graduating with high honours this past June. Amanda also holds Bachelor degrees in Fine Arts and Education from York University.

Her key responsibilities include designing marketing and communication information for Institute initiatives, such as the recent Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Customer Service Guidelines, and assisting with the coordination of the upcoming conference “Engaging Hearts and Minds: Equity, Social Justice and Global Citizenship in Action”.

To Amanda, good global citizenship concerns being aware of and caring about those around us, both close to home as well as across the globe, and knowing that we are all capable of helping to make the world a better place. Every little bit counts!
