Welcome back, everyone! The RI Nexus team is coming off our August blogging hiatus. We took the month to do a bunch of housecleaning and lay the groundwork for all sorts of good stuff - events, new site features, etc. - that we'll be rolling out in the coming days and weeks.

One theme you'll notice this year is a re-doubling of our efforts to help strengthen the ties between Rhode Island's info-tech and digital media (ITDM) industry and our huge population of college students.

We're big believers that one of Rhode Island's greatest assets is its enormous "student body." We have one of the country's highest per capita student populations. Moreover many of these students are concentrating on subjects of particular revelance to ITDM - computer science, graphic design, entrepreneurship. The more we can get them in the mix as interns, employees, entrepreneurs, the better.

So welcome back and stay tuned - it's going to be a good year.
