Launching of the HUB, a new digital resource at the University's Kingston Campus that's wired and staffed to help students and faculty learn to use today's tech tools to sharpen and package their projects and presentations. Sen. Jack Reed and URI President David M. Dooley will tour the new digital resource center.

The new lab, The HUB@LLRC (Language Learning Resource Center), is an initiative of URI's Harrington School of Communication and New Media.

The HUB is a place where faculty can receive just-in-time support for integrating digital media into their teaching and course work. Students can work on projects, explore software and get help from a team of trained student workers. The Harrington School has committed $50,000 to hire 10 skilled student workers to provide support to fellow students and faculty.
