Try not to mention anything about things being awkward, if you do they will most likely become awkward, at least subconsciously. Don't make your very first questions too open-ended, she will feel like she is being tested. Instead, introduce yourself first, then ask her name. Have a few questions lined up to get the ball rolling (ex. what classes are you taking? are you enjoying that class?). The most important things to remember are eye-contact, smile, and be confident in what you are doing.

thx, @purpleflower. Good to know.
How would this work as an opener - "Hi.I know it can be awkward meeting new people, so why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to me"
