By Marilyn G.S. Emerson, M.S.W., CEP
We’re excited! Beginning today College Planning Services, Inc. will begin doing business as Emerson Educational Consulting. Only our name has changed. The staff, locations and ownership remain the same.
We are changing our name to better reflect what we do. In the last few years, the term college planning services is often understood to mean financial planning and is no longer appropriate. Our new name better reflects our primary objective helping students to find colleges and universities where they will be educationally successful and socially happy. In addition to changing our name, we’ve changed logo and our website. And, we’ve added an additional service.
Our new service, Ask an Educational Consultant, is designed to provide an easy to use, affordable and effective way for college bound students and their parents, as well as graduate school candidates to connect directly with me. Now, parents and students will have an opportunity, using the telephone or Skype, to speak to me, an experienced IEC who is a member of both the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) and a Certified Educational Planner (CEP).
I want to emphasize that while we have modernized our look; our commitment to providing the students and families we work with excellent service has not and will not change. We will continue to provide the same comprehensive college and graduate school admission guidance our clients have come to expect.
