Andy and Barbara Taylor

Andy Taylor, the chairman and CEO of Enterprise Holdings, parent company of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, and his wife, Barbara, are both alumni of the University and are long-time supporters of the College. With this gift of $5 million to establish undergraduate career services, the Taylors have given a total of $11 million in support of the Daniels College of Business. In 2011, they gave the University a gift of $5 million in support of Taylor Scholarships to foster diversity among undergraduate students attending the Daniels College of Business. That gift followed a previous donation of $1 million that established the Taylor Scholarship endowment. The University of Denver matched the Taylors’ 2011 gift of $5 million, bringing the total Taylor Scholarship fund to $11 million. In addition, Enterprise Holdings has provided internship opportunities for Daniels students, supported service projects, and Andy Taylor presented at the Daniels College of Business 2010–2011 Voices of Experience season, a signature speaker series that features C-level executives and business leaders.
