It can be frustrating when schools book a sought-after public speaker and only a few audience members show up. For students, it’s a missed opportunity for nutritious insight from experienced thought-leaders; for schools, it can feel like they just lit upwards of $100,000 on fire. Schools can better strategize for successful guest speaker events using this survey that asked 500 undergraduate students their preferences about college-hosted events.
