I know you just want general answers, but as with most things linux there are 
a number of ways to do this, including mechanisms inteneded to alert users of 
certain conditions, notify them of policy changes, shutdowns, or even lab hour 
changes.  There's the Message of the Day (motd) that displays at login, 
"issue", and more. 
 
The most obvious of these has evolved into what we know of as email, but there 
are live console display facilities as well.  Take a look at "message".  The 
"wall" utility was mentioned because it's "write to all". 
 
Let us know a little more about what you're up to and your environment and 
we'll be glad to pitch in.
