The Upper Midwest Commutative Algebra Colloquium will be held on November 14, 2015.  This conference is being created with two main goals in mind:

1.  To showcase the depth and breadth of research connected to commutative algebra;

2.  To build a regional community among faculty and students across algebraic disciplines and between our two institutions.
