Spring Cleaning/Office Make Over Pt 1

As part of the everlasting tradition of spring cleaning I have been taking a look at my office and I am in dire straights. I will be the first to admit that while I have many many talents decorating is NOT one of them. I barely get by at home and my office is just in need of some serious help. So to start with I have decided to tackle the mammoth sized bulletin board that I inherited when I got the job.


I have not changed one thing on it since I got my office because I am not sure what to do with it. It is so blahhh. I am not sure if I should put some fabric on it for a background or maybe a border? I don't want it to look elementary teacher like...this is college people. However, that said I want it to be fun. Information to post on it is not the problem...I just want it to look nice. What do you think?

*BTW the board is screwed into the wall so not removed easily still possible. But if I move it then what would I put in it's place and more importantly would the wall behind it look ok? Thanks for your help!
