You will have a hard time recruiting the required level of experience from a university.

You will be much more successful by taking the talent from an established company, finding leaders who are unable to get into those levels of middle-management at their current job.

I agree with Frob. Uni students/grads aren't going to have anything like the level of experience necessary to lead and as a result the likelihood of success will be dramatically reduced.
