Admissions - CU Denver Change Makers
The CU Denver Change Makers Program is right for you if:
You’re in the later stages of a professional career.
You’re beginning to think about retirement, or you’ve recently retired, and you’re open to new ideas on alternatives to a traditional retirement of pure leisure.
You’re looking to use your talent and experience in new ways that are personally fulfilling and allow for a balanced and productive next stage of life.
You’re eager to connect and collaborate with a community of change makers.
You’re energized by the prospect of seizing opportunities for growth, joy, and purpose.
Change Maker fellows will be selected based on how the program will shape their future life journeys, as well as their potential to contribute to the success of their classmates in the program and to the broader community.
