=== Faculty === {{Main category|University of Virginia faculty}} Faculty were originally housed in the [[The Lawn|Academical Village]] among the students, serving as both instructors and advisors, continuing on to include the McCormick Road Old Dorms, though this has been phased out in favor of undergraduate student resident advisors (RAs).

The university's faculty includes a [[National Humanities Medal]] and [[National Medal of Arts]] winner and former [[United States Poet Laureate]], an awardee of the [[Order of Isabella the Catholic]],<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=3421 |title = Spanish Professor David T.
