Hannah Neely
Nav Rep
Hannah, her husband Keaton, and their son Peregrine live on the West Side of Cincinnati with their cat Sushi, and there is usually something baking in the oven and a cup of coffee being sipped. Hannah has served with The Navigators at UC since 2012. She is passionate about asking great questions, helping people know the transforming presence and love of God, and coming alongside students to develop a strong spiritual foundation and discover God’s purpose for their lives.

jason & Erin Jew
Nav Reps
Jason and Erin have served with the Navigators for over a decade. They both met the Navigators in college, which had an enormous impact on their walks with Jesus and their vision for making disciples. They are excited to teach college students to know Christ and make Him known so that they can be faithful the rest of their lives, wherever God calls them. They have three children: Amelia, Elsie, and Daniel. When they're not chasing their kids around, they love exploring, playing board games, or sleeping.

Evan Griffin
University of Cincinnati Professor/Nav Rep
Evan and his wife, Kim, have been on staff with the Navigators at UC since 1989. Evan is also a UC Communication Professor. They love helping people see the value and sensibility of following Jesus and then helping them learn how to influence others in that same direction. Evan and Kim’s son, Tyler (5/2/05), loves sports, hanging and gaming with his friends, and Jesus (not necessarily in that order).
