As a university-wide asset, we facilitate cross-disciplinary research, teaching and training, and create meaningful exchanges throughout UVA and beyond. Our projects, research and partnerships are suited to reach across Grounds, accelerating collaborative efforts. The future is, in fact, a collaborative endeavor. Shaping the Future We consider not only academic rigor, but real-world experience, political impact, teaching and mentoring when recruiting faculty. Our faculty has expanded to more than 70 of the nation's best scholar-practitioners in disciplines including political science, psychology, policy history, economics and law. Their areas of focus reflect the drive and research of some of the sharpest minds at work in policy today.
