Add a section to your bulletin board that lets students know that they are not alone and need not be embarrassed to ask for help. This can include posters of young people who have come seeking help or written statements that point out how we all need a helping hand once in a while. The issues discussed might include peer pressure about drugs or sex, or they might involved domestic or school violence.
Helping a student navigate class/schedule related issues as well as plan courses each semester/quarter that will lead him to earning a degree is within the purview of academic counseling available at colleges and universities. If a student begins college through a community college program, knowing which courses will transfer to a university is extremely important and is another service offered by academic counselors. Create fliers and posters that highlight joint agreements that the college has with one or more local universities. Humorous fliers can also be an effective approach to catching the attention of students. For example, a cartoon image of a student realizing that he has taken several courses that won't transfer can help to convince students to seek out advice when in doubt about their schedule.
A counseling department focuses on assisting students with the issues that come with college life, from struggling with the challenges presented in a particular class to personal issues that cause stress or concern. Post bulletin board fliers or posters that highlight the types of challenges that students face in college, from relationship issues to the stress often associated with living on one's own for the first time.
One aspect of their college life that sometimes escapes students is that of the consequences of building a huge debt as they go through college. This is where financial aid counselors comes in. It is their job to try to help the student find the aid she needs to go to college while avoiding crippling debt. The financial counselor's bulletin board should be filled with posters and information pointing out options such as grants and scholarships, which don't have to be paid back.
