At universities, it's typically a one hour
presentation with a 30-minute Q & A.  The
best way to get the most students to attend
is to go to professors, tell them about your
speaker, and ask if they'll give extra credit
to students who attend and write a 2-page
essay about it.  Central Michigan University
Students for Life put in the due diligence
and had over 700 in attendance (and I
received a standing ovation from at least
90% of the audience since I couldn't see
anyone sitting.)  For my presentation, the
best profs to ask are:

Philosophy
Speech/Persuasive Communication (since
I am a professional speaker -- my speech
is both persuasive and inspirational)
Marriage and Family
Government
Political Science
Constitutional Law
Journalism

My speech focuses on these topics:

Adoption
Domestic Violence
Rape
Abortion
Philosophy
Law
Overcoming Adversity
Value
Identity
Purpose

For bio info to provide to professors, see
my home page.

I strongly recommend using the Feminists
for Life poster of me, "Did I Deserve the
Death Penalty?" to promote the event on
campus.  Order lots of extras, because
they'll get pulled down, as you can
imagine.  You may want to also let the local
Right to Life affiliate, the local crisis
pregnancy center(s) and local
churches/Catholic Respect Life
Committees know that I'll be in town
presenting, as well as the Young
Republican Club and Christian/Catholic
groups on campus such as the Newman
Center, Campus Crusade for Christ or
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
