This week, the Clarion spoke to incoming freshman Joshua Hahn about his journey from Canada to Oregon and how he discovered a small midwestern campus from Portland. Joshua is a neuroscience major and has been playing piano for twelve years.
Q&A: Joshua Hahn (OR)
Q: Where you were born, where did you grow up, and where do you live now?
A: I was born in Toronto, Canada, but moved straight to Portland, Oregon, and have lived here ever since.
Q: How did you first hear about Bethel?
A: I heard about Bethel through a Bethel alum. The head of the board of Bethel Alumni actually goes to my church, and they recommended the school to me.
Q: What made you choose to attend school so far from home?
A: I visited multiple schools and Bethel just felt like home. I wanted to attend a school farther from home so I could be independent and relatively self-supported.
Q: What do you plan to study at Bethel?
A: I’m hoping to major in neuroscience and maybe minor in music.
Q: Do you plan on playing sports or being involved in music or theater at Bethel?
A: I definitely will be involved in music at Bethel. I plan on being in the orchestra or an ensemble as well as the Bethel worship team (like Vespers or something).
