The CAARMS 15 (Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences) program will include invited speakers, tutorials, and a graduate student poster session. The conference will spotlight the accomplishments of mathematicians from underrepresented minority backgrounds, and is open to all.

The conference will be held in Houston, TX from June 23-26, 2009. It will be hosted by Rice University and events will be held on the Rice University campus.

The CAARMS meetings provide a forum where minority researchers in the mathematical sciences can meet each other and find out about their work across different mathematical fields. This forum also serves as a place to meet and mentor minority graduate students as well as encourage them to obtain doctoral degrees.
