WeDriveU Hosts Entrepreneur Scholars From CSBSJU
Dennis Carlson shared his vision and entrepreneurial lessons with CSBSJU students who are designing and implementing business ventures.
WeDriveU’s Executive Chairman and Founder Dennis Carlson recently hosted students from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University’s E-Scholars program at our Burlingame, CA headquarters during their tour of Silicon Valley.
As a CSBSJU alum and 2020 Donald McNeely Center Entrepreneur of the Year, Dennis briefed students on his vision to disrupt the transportation industry. He shared his strategy to pivot WeDriveU as customers’ mobility needs evolved over three decades in business, and valuable lessons they can apply to their journeys as business leaders.
We appreciate these kind words on LinkedIn:
Steve Schwarz, CSBSJU Instructor of Global Business & Entrepreneurship, remarked: “The highlight of our trip was our visit to WeDriveU…” in reference to the talks from Dennis and fellow alum and WeDriveU Board member, Mark Flynn.
E-Scholar student Grace Schneider also praised Dennis’ story, saying: “His work ethic and passion towards his business was inspiring and contributed to my enthusiasm for creating my own business venture.”
WeDriveU is at the forefront of shuttle solutions which improve mobility and sustainability for workplaces, campuses and communities throughout the U.S. The company serves millions of annual passengers as a strategic transportation partner to employers and universities, specializing in shuttle program design, staffing, technology, passenger engagement and fleet, including EVs.
