CU Denver Change Makers

Ready to explore your next chapter?

The CU Denver Change Makers program is designed for experienced professionals who are nearing or at the end of their primary careers and are navigating transitions in work and life.

Change Maker fellows have the unique opportunity to come to CU Denver for a semester to explore possibilities, reset, and renew their purpose.

Through expertly guided cohort discussions, seminars with practitioners, opportunities to audit CU Denver classes, and assistance identifying volunteer opportunities in a nonprofit or social enterprise, Change Maker fellows investigate areas of interest and growth and develop an actionable plan for using their wisdom in a new, fulfilling context.

They’re making change – in themselves and in their communities.
