Guest lecturing is an underutilized teaching strategy that provides depth and richness in college‐level chemistry courses. The authors have found that student‐centred guest lecturing that combines themed guest presentations, hands‐on workshops (whenever possible) and small group conversations has yielded tremendous benefits. As a result, students have developed a lasting interest in chemical crystallography and have employed advanced experiments in their own research. The authors report on their experience in planning student‐centred guest lecturing, advise on best practices, and demonstrate the long lasting positive impact on student learning and engagement.
