Q & A With Alexandra

What are you currently working on?

Currently, I am leading a vaccine confidence project on the campus of the University of Florida. The project, “Work COVID Silly, Gators: A multi-mural, interdisciplinary project to increase COVID-19 vaccine confidence amongst students at the University of Florida” was granted almost $8,000 in funding to place temporary murals around campus to promote vaccine confidence amongst UF students. During the Spring semester, the sites will also act as COVID-19 vaccination and education sites.

Aside from my role as project lead, the team also includes mural curator Jenna Horner, muralists Cristi Lopez, Brittany Webber, Amy Lindroth as well as UF Physician Dr. Ashleigh Wright. The two mural structures are slated to stay up through the Spring 2022 semester and will have QR codes to guide students to a linktree comprised of an evaluation survey, CDC COVID Vaccine safety & efficacy, as well as a link to find local vaccination sites.

Further, the murals, surveys, and focus groups were all curated with the Theory of Planned Behavior at the forefront to ensure the efficacy of this project.
