Ed majors are usually more swamped than most with stuff since they have to do
classroom time in local schools in addition to their regular class schedule.
But being a former ed major, when I had free time, I wanted to do something
completely brainless since I was always inundated with educational material.
Free food is a good motivator for any major.

Why not have an art party or something fun like that at the gallery? Coffee
house type things or poetry slams tend to draw poser college types as well. (No
offense to non-posers who attend such things. :) And if you have any sort of
nudes in your collection, exploit them - even if it is nude fruit. :) Nothing
draws college students quicker than controversy. :)
