Guest Speakers

Guest speakers can provide a valuable new perspective on course material and enrich the class experience.If you wish to invite an elected official or a political candidate to be a guest speaker, you must first seek the permission of the Office of General Counsel. Please review the university’s policy on the use of University resources for political purposes and contact your academic coordinator for more information.  

Online faculty should also contact the Office of Distance Education at distanceeducation@northwestern.edu to assist with guest speaker preparation.
