Andrea’s first week of the fall semester 🍂

09/03/2026

A childhood fascination with horror films became a creative pursuit for Araceli Frias-Ohane, who recently earned her MA in Film and Media from Johns Hopkins University.

Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Frias-Ohane was captivated by horror films—not just the scares, but the lighting, sound, and unforgettable final scenes. Years later, after building a career in higher education, she decided to explore that passion more seriously.

At Johns Hopkins, she gained hands-on experience writing scripts, operating cameras, recording sound, editing footage, and collaborating on productions. She became particularly fascinated by sound design, simply describing it: “Horror lives and dies by sound.”

For her capstone, Frias-Ohane wrote The Association, a proof-of-concept horror screenplay about a couple who move into a new housing development controlled by a homeowners' association. She is now refining the screenplay with plans to produce it as a short film.

Learning environmental restoration doesn’t always happen in a classroom.

Students in our Environmental Restoration course recently headed into the field at Big Spring Run in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they explored a restored wetland and saw firsthand how science, history, and restoration come together.

By studying fossil seeds preserved in layers of sediment, researchers were able to uncover clues about the landscape’s past—and use that information to help guide its restoration.

For AAP students, experiences like this connect classroom learning to real-world environmental challenges.

Meet Brian Hoover, a Johns Hopkins University lecturer and seabird ecologist who spends weeks each year at sea studying how birds can reveal changes in ocean ecosystems.

As principal scientist at the Farallon Institute, Hoover tracks where seabirds feed, migrate, and nest, combining thousands of bird observations with ocean measurements to understand how biodiversity hotspots shift as conditions change.

His research takes him from the California coast to the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands—and sometimes includes a banjo or mandolin between sightings.

Learn how Hoover brings his research into the classroom through our MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy and Energy Policy and Climate programs ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Umqkcr.

For Mariella Alvey, advancing cancer research means understanding the complex biology that shapes each patient’s disease.

As a Senior Research Associate at Providence Cancer Institute, Alvey studies immunotherapy and tumor samples from patients enrolled in clinical trials. Through our MS in Individualized Genomics and Health, she expanded her knowledge of cancer genomics, gene therapy, and epigenetics while continuing to work full-time.

Her Johns Hopkins University education has helped her better understand the science behind her laboratory work—and strengthened her ability to contribute to research that could help move discoveries closer to the patients who need them.

What happens when graduate students take their learning beyond the classroom and into the community?

In Spring 2027, students in our MA in Nonprofit Management program can enroll in a new field study course, Community Engagement: Tools and Techniques for Making Meaningful Connection. Based in Columbia, Maryland, the course will combine classroom learning with immersive consulting experience.

Students will work with local nonprofit organizations to explore community engagement challenges and develop practical recommendations organizations can use—all while gaining hands-on professional experience.
