teaching classes is a great idea! there's a fair amount of material floating 
around out there as well that could be easily used for such classes.

other things that spring to my mind include:

 - see if you can get KDE on machines in some of the computer labs, 
particularly ones used by the comp sci dpt, so people can get familiar with 
it through usage
 - start an open source or even a KDE-specific development club/association on 
campus
 - have a guest speaker from the KDE project come and speak to students there. 
that can have quite a nice impact on getting interest
 - investigate the possibility of having KDE/Qt used in some of the classes 
where programming is part of the curriculum. here in Calgary, they use Qt on 
Linux to teach intro graphics and OpenGL programming, for instance
