Norwood was named Cornell University’s 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year, the first African American woman to receive the award in its nearly 40-year history. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics with concentrations in statistics and computer science from Cornell University, an MBA from Harvard University, and is currently a Master of Engineering candidate in Systems Engineering at Cornell.
