University of Delaware & ISCTE-IUL Bloomberg and Trading Program 2026 

Announcements (most recent at the top)

(June 1 Tentative Schedule) Here is the tentative schedule of events for your program. It matches to the broad description on the Program Overview and Schedule page that I discussed with you when we met on Zoom in late April. I have also posted a link on that page. Some updates are likely as we go along, and I will reflect them in the schedule if so. Any questions, just let me know at UDISCTEProgram@gmail.com. Thanks!

(May 29 Insurance update) We have now purchased the Patriot Platinum travel health insurance plan for each of you. Coverage will extend through the weekend after the program. The coverage limit is $5 million, as I said we expected to do. For details on the setup of the policy, see below in these Announcements. Your specific insurance card and exact policy will be coming soon. We will be forwarding them to ISCTE Administration to discribute to you. 

(May 21 Insurance status) There have been some changes in personnel at the insurance company we use that have delayed the paperwork a bit. We are pushing to get your traveller health insurance cards to you asap. I think it will be next week. See below in these Announcements if you are looking for more details on the insurance.

(May 13 Canvas is back!) As of this afternoon, Canvas appears to be back up. Thanks for your patience.

(May 12 Canvas for Zoom Program) As you may have seen when trying to enter the Canvas for Professor Terry's program the past day or so, Canvas has experienced a security breach and shut the door to the site. It looks like a ransomware event. Professor Terry and I are working on an alternative way for you to have access to materials, etc. Please watch for info here. Please tell your colleauges who are in the course. Please!

(May 11 Traveler Health Insurance). We are in the process of purchasing a traveler health insurance policy for you. When the purchase is complete, each person will revieve a card and specific info. We anticipate that the purchase will be complete by the last week of May. 

I have been informed of a question as to what this will be like. We are negotiating on the "Patriot American Platinum Group" plan from IMGlobal. We will certainly buy a $0 deductible policy. We are trying to buy a $5million coverage limit, but it will certainly be a high limit even if it isn't that high. The terms of the policy will be their standard ones---that is, traveller health coverage to deal with emergencies. General information on the type of plan we are buying is at this link. The full details come when we complete the purchase in each person's name. Please let me know at udiscteprogram@gmail.com if you have any questions at this point. 

(May 11 A follow up point on traveller health insurance and preparedeness.) To restate a point I made in our intro meeting: Traveller health insurance most often works on a reimbursement basis. That is, may health care facilities might expect payment up front or bill you directly. You should be prepared to handle such situations. 

(Apr 17 Welcome!) I enjyed talking with you today. If you are seeing this, it would be great if you drop a note to udiscteprogram@gmail.com. I had a typo in the website setup before---that's why it didn't work. I want to know its working now.

(16 April) Watch this page! Check here frequently for program announcements. Especially when the program is running, you will find new developments, changes, and key new information here, in the Announcements. Check frequently! This is a key communications portal for our program! Check it every week in April and May,  check it every couple days in June before the program, and check it all the time during the program!

(16 April) Video Newark.  Here is a video I recorded in May 2024 to give you a sense for what Newark Delaware looks like. This is about Main Street and the north edge of UD's campus, places you will be a lot.  If you like these, you can leave comments on the video (its a YouTube channel). That will encourage me to make more---and I may be able to repond to the comments also if YouTube allows.

(16 April) We have history. News article about the 2024 Program 

(16 April) Your hotel and what's in it.  Here is a video 360-degree tour of our hotel, including a view of the rooms we will be using. We have the 2-queen-bed rooms with a pull-out sofa-bed.  See the Program Overview (link above) for more on the hotel, and see the Key Contacts (link above) for address info.
