Details	This article explained the activities during two years and a half in a counseling organization that reopened at a private college. In analyzing the process, it was indicated that the problems as an organization such as having no college regulation and no steering committee affected its closing. Because the counselor was a teacher of a teacher-training course, effective human networks within the college were mainly created not through practices that were specific to counseling but through that of the teacher-training course. From the results of the survey, it was proved that publicity activities in the early stage were very effective. In conclusion, in order to place the counseling organization more firmly as an organization at the college, it was effective to receive information about the college by using human networks and placing counseling services as a service of the teaching staffs of the department. As a view of the future activities, it was suggested to appeal its meaning to the teachers and clerks more actively and to make students possible to use it without reserve.
