The list of fall 2020 Bulldogs United in Learning Drake (BUILD) classes is available online. To access the list, go to HR BUILD Classes under All Apps – Other Employee Apps on myDrake.

BUILD is a series of 1–2 hour presentations on topics relevant to faculty and staff. Classes will be held virtually. Most will offer a live virtual presentation, which allows for meaningful interaction with colleagues and the presenter. Presentations will also be recorded for later viewing.

The next class is Compassion Fatigue on Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 2–3 p.m.  Witnessing the trauma, grief, or aging of a loved one is the daily challenge of being a caregiver. This session explores the concept of compassion fatigue, what it looks like, how it affects both formal and informal caregivers in both a personal and professional context, as well as the resources available for building coping skills and practicing self-care. Presented by Scarlett Lunning from Employee & Family Resources.
