The Community Foundation for Crawford County is pleased to introduce Serena Norwood, a 2025 recipient of one of the 20 Doug and Renee Leuthold Scholarship awards and one of the six L. Earl Smith Scholarship awards.
Serena, the daughter of Toni Norwood and Dale Andrew Norwood, is a 2025 graduate of Galion High School. She is attending North Central State College this fall and studying Pre-Professional Studies.
What inspired you to choose your intended major?
"My inspiration for choosing this major was to get a well-rounded general college education to prepare myself to transfer to another college. Ultimately, I hope to pursue a 4-year degree in the natural sciences."
What are your career and life goals after you graduate?
"After I graduate from NC State, I plan on transferring to another college for a bachelor's. Career wise, I hope to find something I am passionate about that also provides me a good living. I want to work in conservation or research- something that helps the world at large, even if I'm just a small part of it. I also would love to move out of my parents house after I graduate."
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Serena!
