In order to celebrate the many wonderful contributions Roger and Sylvia Wiegand have made to the commutative algebra community, there will be a conference at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, May 7-9, 2005.

The conference is for recent Ph.D.s and graduate students in the field to meet experienced researchers, to learn about recent developments in commutative algebra, to exchange ideas with one another, and to develop collaborations for future research.

The conference will be organized by David Jorgensen and Aihua Li. For more information, see the conference web page.
