The Sam M. Walton College of Business is hosting an information session, So You Want to Be a Lecturer, on May 2 for local business retirees and working professionals who want to share their industry expertise with students.

Brent Williams, senior associate dean and Garrison Endowed Chair in Supply Chain Management, will kick off the session and serve as the moderator with three guest panelists sharing their instructional experiences at Walton College.

Working as either a guest lecturer for one class or as a part-time employee for a full semester can connect industry professionals with potential corporate interns and the campus community. It provides an opportunity to share industry trends and niche business expertise.
