Alex Chernushin worked 34 years in the aerospace industry, but had questions about his life after retirement. He joined CU Denver’s Change Makers program to help find answers.

People approaching retirement face many challenges--there’s money and affordability, but there are also questions about identity and self-worth… and of course, what comes next. Change Makers, a new program at the University of Colorado Denver offers a chance to help professionals and others navigate those questions. As part of our Aging Matters series, we spoke with program directors Anne Button and Rachel Cohen. We also spoke with Alex Chernushin, a newly-retired aerospace engineer who took part in the program.
