Josh Bruce
President
Junior, Mechanical Engineering
Hi guys! My name is Josh Bruce and I am the President fot he 2024-25 school year! When I first came to Penn State, I was completely overwhelmed by all the people and clubs, and I didn’t know if I would be able to find a strong Christian community that I could be a part of. I was lucky enough to get connected with the Navigators my first week of Freshman year, and since then I have been able to grow, not just into a great group of friends, but also in a deeper connection with God and his Word! The Navigators offers so many great opportunities to involved, and I definitely recommend taking advantage of all of them! Having a strong group of believers supporting me has been so encouraging, and being able to share the Word with others is an experience like no other. In my free time I like to run, swim, and hang out with friends and family!
Mikaela Scherry
Event Coordinator
Junior, Nursing
Hi I’m Mika and I’m a junior studying Nursing! I came to Penn State knowing I wanted to be a part of Christian community and I had no idea where to start, when to a Navigators event and just kept coming back! I love Navs because it’s given me a community that love so deeply and it has been so fun to be a part of a ministry that wants to see you grow in your relationship with God and will walk alongside you on your faith journey!
Marie Gehman
Vice President

Hi everyone! My name is Marie Gehman, and I’m so happy to serve as the Vice President for the Navigators ministry. I’m in Navs because as an incoming student I felt welcomed into a group of people passionate about loving others how Christ does, on campus and beyond. I’ve had an amazing experience at PSU with amazing people, and I want to be a part of welcoming more newcomers into this family!
Brayden Brooks

Hi there! My name is Brayden Brooks and I am the current Treasurer of the Penn State Navigators. I learned of the Navigators through the Involvement Fair. I scanned the QR code they had, and got connected with the staff a short time later! In my free time I love making music, playing video games, and hanging out with friends. I am super excited for my third consecutive year as treasurer!
