Welcome to the CU Denver Change Makers Alumni website — a newly designed space where you can connect across cohorts with other like-minded individuals who have also completed the fellowship program. We hope you’ll engage with the site on a regular basis to stay informed about future events and educational offerings and learn more about your fellow alumni. 

This site offers a range of features aimed at building connection and community, and each can be accessed from the navigation bar above. Some of these include:

  • Events: Stay informed about upcoming events
  • Forum: Engage with other Change Maker alumni through general dialogue or topic-driven exchanges
  • Members: Access information and profiles about your fellow Change Maker alumni
  • Volunteer: Learn more about volunteer opportunities and sign up to participate.

You’ll also notice posts on the home page next to this welcome. These will be updated regularly to include alumni profiles, inspirational quotes, links to timely resources and updates on the Change Makers program. We encourage you to check the alumni website on a regular basis to stay in the loop.

How to get started

To access all the features of the site, you’ll need to first register by clicking on the “register” button above. You’ll then create a username and password for logging into the site. Next, fill out your membership profile by clicking on the red “register” button to the right of the log-in button. Here you can add a photo and provide a little information about yourself. Once you have done that, the log-in button on the right will be replaced with your name and a small photo. To get back to the home page, click on “CU Denver Change Makers Alumni” at the top.

    Neural activity following regular sensory events can reflect either elapsed time since the previous event (temporal signaling) or temporal predictions and prediction errors about the next event (temporal predictive processing). These mechanisms are often confounded, yet dissociating them is essential for understanding neural circuit computations. We addressed this by performing two-photon calcium imaging from distinct cell types (excitatory, VIP and SST) in layer 2/3 of visual (VIS) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC), while awake mice passively viewed audio-visual stimuli under temporal contexts with different inter-stimulus interval (ISI) distributions.

    Cytokinetic abscission is the last step of cell division, during which the intercellular bridge between daughter cells is severed. While abscission genes are linked to cancers and developmental disorders, the consequences of disrupted abscission in vivo have remained under-explored. For a polarized epithelium to expand or renew, cells within it must divide while maintaining polarity, cell junctions, and epithelial integrity.
