Abstract: This presentation explores the profound implications of blockchain technology and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on the insurance and reinsurance sectors. It begins by examining the foundational aspects of leading blockchain platforms and their most significant DeFi protocols, providing a thorough analysis of how these innovations are reshaping the broader financial landscape. The focus then narrows to the insurance industry, where we investigate the potential disruptions to the traditional insurance value chain, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities that arise from this technological shift. The discussion progresses to an overview of prominent decentralized insurance protocols, offering insights into their operational models and unique features. To bridge theory with practice, the presentation includes an in-depth case study of Ensuro, a decentralized capital provider specializing in parametric risk coverage. Through this example, the speaker will elucidate key DeFi concepts such as fiat-backed stablecoins, liquidity pools, and decentralized asset management. Special attention is given to the critical role of decentralized oracles in the claims processing workflow, illustrating how these technologies are being applied in real-world scenarios. By synthesizing these elements, the presentation aims to provide the audience with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between blockchain technology, DeFi, and the insurance sector.   Webex Link: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=mf895c9b09fa6c4a5824628db5e65843d (https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=mf895c9b09fa6c4a5824628db5e65843d) Webex meeting number:2633 560 6690; Password:srBx3dzbq79   Speaker's Biography: Marco Mirabella is the CEO of Ensuro, a decentralized reinsurance company licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Barbershop The "Barbershop Group" is a therapy group for men who have had past traumatic experiences and would like to learn new ways of coping and managing the effects of that trauma. The group recognizes the need for men to develop different skills that will effectively improve how we express our emotions and build relationships in a safe space. What better place to do that than the barbershop? The Barbershop model is derived from the "Men's Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model"- (M-TREM.) The Barbershop Group uses a Psycho-educational and skills-oriented approach that is person-centered. Over the years The Barbershop has provided men with a safe, non-judgmental setting where they can speak freely and be themselves. Unfortunately, we will not be providing haircuts, but we will be providing open discussion where honest responses in group discussions are encouraged, and we will engage in several exercises that are used to introduce you to and try new coping skills. I look forward to seeing you all at "The Shop".To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4705 (tel:860-486-4705).

Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

Dungeon's and Therapy Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Quest allow participants to take on the persona of fictional characters and to complete daring adventures across mysterious worlds. This therapy group takes the core elements of these games but also challenges you to set goals that will help change your behavior, attitude, and mindset in the real world. In Dungeons & Therapy, you will work with a mental health clinician to create a fantasy character that is personalized to you and your goals. This character might excel at something with which you struggle, be the complete opposite of who you are, or be designed to help you emphasize any given attribute. Within sessions of Dungeons & Therapy, you will interact with other players not only to find treasures, solve puzzles, and converse with enigmatic individuals - but also to express meaningful parts of yourself. No previous experience with Dungeons & Dragons or any other RPG is required.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4705 (tel:860-486-4705).
