We are trying to get a grasp on how many malware infections occur in the
student population for a given time period like a semester, or a calendar year.

One very useful piece of info to include with the statistics is what sort
of mitigation, if any, your organization has in-place - infection stats for
a dorm that has direct Internet access aren't comparable to stats for a dorm
that's behind a NAT and which won't let you escape the NAT till you've verified
your patches and AV are up-to-date, or other walled-garden setups.
