I think Brooks Jensen's Lenswork is a great example
as material behind the philosophy(s) of photographers. In fact, it would
be worth while to invite him as a guest.
Michael Smith taught in New York, can't recall the
University off the top of my head, may have been in Pennsylvania, actually; and
he had a guest speaker every other week. That gave his students one week
to receive his lecture. But, it's a great way to herald career oriented
photographers.
Where are you located? You can recruit hotels
to contribute an overnight stay, get airlines to contribute and make an event
for that non profit contribution. Or have the costs covered by the
students or contributors. That is to say if the school won't
pay.
I mean, if you're serious.

PS One of the best issues of Lenswork had
portfolios of extremely fine photography done by 'photographers who are
hobyists.' The photographers were selected because their essays expressed
a passion for their work and nothing more. Many of the essays talked about
the portfolios in retrospect. Portfolios of past works, what motivated the
picture making.
