guest lecturer

Visiting academic presenter

A guest lecturer is someone invited to speak to a class or academic audience on a topic within their expertise, typically for a single session or short series rather than as a regular instructor.

Universities bring in guest lecturers to expose students to perspectives beyond the usual faculty, often practitioners or specialists whose real-world experience complements course material.

The journalism program invited a Pulitzer winner as a guest lecturer.
