A new consulting company has opened in Zelienople, aimed at helping college-bound students and families navigate the college admissions and selection process.

River’s Edge College Consulting primarily works with students in their junior and/or senior year, tackling topics such as building the college list, essay and personal statement preparation, resumes, application strategies and other services.

The consulting company is currently accepting high school students in the graduating Class of 2028, with some availability for Class of 2027 graduates.

River’s Edge was founded by Adam Kauffman, a Butler County resident and 11 year college admissions professional.

A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, with a bachelor’s in business administration and a master’s in higher education administration, Kauffman began his admissions career at Pitt, moving to assistant director of undergraduate recruitment, then to PhD admissions within Pitt’s School of Medicine.
