CU Denver Change Makers

Ready to explore your next chapter?

The CU Denver Change Makers program is designed for experienced professionals nearing or completing their primary careers and navigating transitions in work and life.

Change Maker fellows spend a semester at CU Denver exploring possibilities, resetting, and renewing their sense of purpose.

Through guided, discussion-based sessions, a guest speaker series on various aspects of a full life, collaboration with peers at a similar stage, and opportunities to audit CU Denver classes, fellows gain clarity about their values, interests, and next steps — and develop an actionable plan for using their wisdom in a new, fulfilling ways.

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

Now accepting applications for the Fall 2026 semester (Aug 11-Nov 8).
