There's lots of material that the spread the word team is putting together. Much of it is for universities and colleges. I think it would be great for you to come out to the next meeting and tell us what you have in mind!
I looked on your website, it was quite inspiring! I'm still a student and sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have the chance to work with IFFTI ( http://www.iffti.com/ ) with my school, Ryerson, this year. I'm also trying to get the Student Union to engage the student populous (heavily design/communication based) more in sustainable challenges. In fact this term's Student Union has made a promise to have a 'sustainability' office, they just don't know what that means yet. I hope to be involved in creating a medium for students to play with sustainable design.
This summit is about sustainability in Design. We're working on integrating it into studio environments, school curriculum, personal lives, and professional organizations.
Its also important for Designers to be rewarded and respected for doing cause-based work. So we're starting a travelling show profiling cause-based design as a great thing for designers to be involved in.
Most importantly, this summit is about talk. We're here to work on these ideas so we can make the world better. That world is yours too, and you definitely can have an effect.

Do you have any experiences with campuses?
