While college is an exciting time full of possibility, it can also be a time of great stress. College success or failure has a major impact on a student's future options and career goal achievement, leading some college students to become overly stressed by academic challenges. Offer them suggestions on how to curb stress by setting up a stress-reduction tips bulletin board.
Cover your board with a bright piece of fabric or sheet of bulletin board paper. Title your board "Stress-Reduction Tips," using hand-cut or pre-cut letters. Place stress-reduction techniques, like those described at www.cdc.gov, on your bulletin board.
Encourage students to become acquainted with those who share their dorm space by setting up a "Get to Know Your Dorm Mates" bulletin board.
Cover a bulletin board with fabric or bulletin board paper. Divide the board down the center using a piece of colored tape or ribbon. Dedicate one half of the board to a male dorm resident and the other half to a female dorm resident. Place a picture of each featured student on respective sides of the bulletin board. Put the students' names above the pictures and facts about them around the board surface. Change your bulletin board regularly so that you feature as many students as possible throughout the academic year.
Help students learn about their new school by setting up a college trivia bulletin board.
Cover your bulletin board with a fabric printed in your school's colors. Title your bulletin board "Did you Know..." using pre-cut or hand-cut letters. Gather little-known information about your school, such as the reason behind the selection of your current mascot, the date on which the school was founded, or the inspiration for your school colors. Type up these tidbits in a large font; place them on your bulletin board so that new students can learn about their future alma mater.
