Annual Scholarships
Justin Haaheim
Majors: Computer Science
Hometown: Chaska, Minnesota
Future plans: Find computer-science related work to support a side career as a musician.
"The scholarships I receive help give me the financial leeway I need to continue to pursue music seriously while also majoring in computer science. The scholarships have also made possible things like going on the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra China tour. The time I spent in China stands as one of the most amazing and eye-opening experiences of my life, and it wouldn't have been possible for me and my family without the financial support."
"At Gustavus, I am struck not only by the quality and dedication of the professors and the academic environment that the students create, but also by the balance that exists. English majors do bronze-casting, physics majors perform marimba concertos. That's liberal arts, and I knew I wanted to be part of it."
"Gustavus does a good job of providing rich and diverse opportunities to students, which is really what being a liberal arts school is all about. We learn about the depth and complexity of issues and how they're relevant to us up here on the hill, and I love that."
