History
In April 2007, the mathematics faculty of the Claremont Consortium proposed establishing a Claremont Center for the Mathematical Sciences (CCMS) to promote collaborative research and creative teaching among the institutions of the Consortium: Claremont Graduate University, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona College and Scripps College. In January 2008, the Academic Deans Committee (ADC) approved the establishment of CCMS and the Claremont Graduate University (CGU) agreed to be the lead institution for CCMS and, on that basis CCMS became an approved operation of the Claremont Consortium.
Mission and Activities
Claremont Center for the Mathematical Sciences (CCMS) has two main themes: Research and Outreach. Research activities of the Center pursue initiatives that enhance collaborative research on campus—including faculty, undergraduate and graduate students. Outreach activities include teaching, services and diversity. Teaching in Claremont has a high reputation and the Center provides programs that emphasize superior teaching practices, especially in reaching out to the wider mathematical community, which is international in scope. The Center sponsors and organizes common services such as the weekly math colloquium and a variety of weekly research seminars. CCMS supports and is a focus for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) summer programs. As a contribution toward diversity, the Center actively recruits and involves minority math students and faculty in all the Center activities and provides the support for our tiered mentoring programs.
