A Visiting Professor is an academic who temporarily teaches at a university or college, often from a different institution. This role allows them to share their expertise and research with students and faculty, enriching the academic environment. Visiting professors may be invited for a semester, a year, or even just a few weeks. These professors often bring unique perspectives and specialized knowledge in their field, such as science, literature, or engineering. Their presence can foster collaboration and innovation, benefiting both students and the host institution. Visiting professors may also engage in lectures, workshops, and research projects during their stay.
