The Tibet Center strives to be a point of connection for Tibetans living and working in the Charlottesville area. Below is a list of members of the Tibetan community in Charlottesville who are affiliated with UVa as either faculty, staff, visiting scholars, or students.

UVa has a number of affiliated faculty who are either primarily involved with Tibetan Studies or who have secondary interests in Tibetan Studies. The faculty here listed have long-term appointments at UVa, and either teach full-time or occasionally. They are a core part of the UVa community due their contributions of research, teaching, mentoring, and other activities, as well as their long-term and persistent commitments to Tibetans, and the University itself as a community and institution. As a collective, they are distributed across multiple disciplines and interests.
