Emory Celebrates Tibet Week March 17-22

Emory University hosts its annual Tibet Week March 17-22. Through films, lectures, art and other events, Tibet Week provides opportunities for the Emory and Atlanta communities to experience first-hand the diverse dimensions of Tibetan Buddhist culture, and allows Tibetan monks to visit campus as ambassadors to share religious and artistic traditions. The tradition began in 2001 to promote awareness about the Emory-Tibet Partnership and educate the community on Tibetan culture.
