Arionna Bell

A&S '26

Arionna Bell, a molecular and cellular biology student from Lexington, South Carolina, is a highly active member of the Johns Hopkins community. She's an actor and stage manager for the Dunbar Baldwin Hughes Theater Company, a group that showcases Black experiences through performance, and has served as student co-director of Hopkins Votes, a nonpartisan pro-voting initiative, to increase student turnout for the 2024 elections. She is also a resident advisor for first-year students, a clinical leader for the Violet Project, and a member of the Lopez-Bertoni lab.

Bell was chosen by the senior class as Johns Hopkins University's 2026 student Commencement speaker after asking her classmates a simple question: "Why not?"

"It's a question that has defined my Hopkins experience," she says. "Why not introduce myself to someone new? Why not explore beyond campus? Why not ask questions that are bigger than me? ... I want to urge other students to keep pursuing, keep doing, keep asking the question 'why not,' because that's all we've been doing as Hopkins students."
