BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations. There will be an emphasis on healing, maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries. Bloom means to be open, blossom and to maintain flourishing conditions that help us grow. It's time to Bloom.

Robert H. Jerry, Floyd R. Gibson Missouri Endowed Professor Emeritus of Law, University of Missouri School of Law Douglas Richmond, Senior Vice President at Lockton Companies, LLC Forty years ago, Robert Jerry, a young law professor at the University of Kansas, began writing what Matthew Bender, Inc. would publish in 1987 as the first edition of Understanding Insurance Law. One of his students at the time was Doug Richmond, who would later specialize in insurance law, manage the insurance coverage and extracontractual liability practice of a large regional law firm, become Managing Director at Aon, and today Senior Vice President with the Lockton companies in Kansas City. In 2007, Richmond became Jerry's co-author for the 4th edition of UIL, and the two of them have now collaborated on the last four editions, the most recent of which was published in the spring of 2025. Thus, for four decades, UIL has been a key resource for lawyers, judges, insurance students, and scholars seeking an understanding of various aspects of insurance law. Currently, the 800+ citations to the treatise in secondary literature include citations in approximately 575 law review articles, and it is cited in nearly 80 reported judicial opinions. In this program, Jerry and Richmond will discuss how Understanding Insurance Law came to be, with particular emphasis on how the field of insurance law has evolved in the last 40 years and how UIL has adapted to our changing field.
