Visiting Professor Program

Since its inception hundreds of professors have participated in the AEF Visiting Professor Program (VPP). The goal of the VPP is to enhance professors’ understanding of current developments and practice in advertising and marketing to inform their teaching and research. It is also a forum for professors to exchange learning, to create long-term relationships and to become part of the AEF’s professor community. Learn more about the 2023 VPP.

What Others Are Saying

I had the good fortune of being a part of the VPP. The program has been an incredible value add to my academic portfolio. So often academics get lost in our world of theories and methodology. Interacting with companies gave us a chance to understand how our intellectual ruminations from the ivory tower translate into the real world. It was eye-opening and grounding all at the same time.

What Others Are Saying

The VPP was one of the best experiences in my scholarly life. Advertising faculty and I agreed to redesign the curricular to include new digital advertising courses. Two new courses were presented to the Curricular Committee for consideration because of my experience.

What Others Are Saying

The VPP experience was terrifically eye-opening, helpful, and generous. It helped me get my foot in the door, literally and figuratively, to a variety of companies and agencies I've long analyzed from the outside. I recommend it highly to any faculty contemplating applying.
