This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Groups, Rings, Group Rings, and Hopf Algebras, held October 2-4, 2015 at Loyola University, Chicago, IL, and the AMS Special Session on Groups, Rings, Group Rings, and Hopf Algebras, held October 3-4, 2015, at Loyola University, Chicago, IL. Both conferences were held in honor of Donald S. Passman's 75th Birthday. Centered in the area of group rings and algebras, this volume contains a mixture of cutting edge research topics in group theory, ring theory, algebras and their representations, Hopf algebras and quantum groups.
