Why we do what we do
​
"A Guest Speaker can be a great tool for the improvement of a class, because it offers a new perspective and variety in the way it is taught, while it provides important specific subjects that are often omitted from a regular class [...] Because of the way this technique is used, a better one-on-one approach is achieved, as well as a better understanding of a topic that otherwise would be very dull or unclear." (Source: teachingonpurpose.org)
​
"Guest discussions allow students to contextualize leadership behaviors (team-building, decision-making, crisis management) from the source. The guests, who nearly all agree to return, gain something as well: “They find it very self-revelatory. One former CEO shared, ‘I think I finally understand my job now.’” (Source: harvard.edu)
​
"While you can glean a lot of information from research and quizzes, there’s no substitute for information from someone currently working in your chosen career. Talking to someone in the field gives you a real sense of the type of work you will actually be doing and if it meets your expectations." (Source: helpguide.org)

"According to student feedback, accounting professionals in the classroom provide a very effective real–life learning experience for students. A successful guest speaker event benefits students, educators, guest speakers, and the university."
