Create a position at Canonical to manage this program. This person would:

- Research colleges to determine which students would be most able to switch to Ubuntu

- Make their e-mail address available online to allow students to contact them

- Appoint student representatives at colleges, the way Microsoft and Apple already do. These students would:
-- Distribute marketing materials
-- Organize installfests
-- Co-ordinate with student computer clubs
-- Create groups on campus similar to LoCo Teams
-- Aid communication between Canonical and the IT departments

- Target colleges that have standard college laptop bundles which are known to be Ubuntu-compliant
-- Spin custom install images oriented to the college's software needs and hardware configurations
-- Work to improve compatibility with college networks

I think the first step is to lobby against everything that prevents College students from using (and enjoying) Ubuntu:

*) E-learning platforms written with only Internet Explorer in mind.
*) Course material only in proprietary formats. (pdf with DRM!)
*) Networking based on closed-source/platform-specific solutions.
*) Obligatory use of MS-Office formats for submission.
(Not nice if you are used to LaTeX.)

I think others might be able to add some more points.
