guest lecture

Outside speaker's presentation

A guest lecture is a talk given at an educational institution by someone who is not a regular member of the faculty, typically an expert or professional invited to share specialized knowledge or real-world experience with students.

The term also functions as a verb: She guest lectured at Harvard last spring.

Guest lectures break up routine instruction and expose students to perspectives outside the usual curriculum.
