Best practices: Incorporating speakers in the classroom

Our institution has created a competitive advantage around integrating alumni, business leaders, and donors into classes and non-curricular activities. While other disciplines also host speakers, the topics covered in management, organizational behavior, and entrepreneurship classes are particularly well-suited for integrating speakers, and our department is one of the cornerstones of our school’s competitive advantage. The purpose of this session is to present the many factors that are important to successfully hosting guest speakers. With the help of the audience, we hope to further develop best practices for hosting speakers.
