Engaging Arts for Vaccine Confidence The CDC just launched a new website from the Vaccinate with Confidence team: “How to Engage the Arts to Build COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence”. The website has a number of evidence-based guides and resources on how to engage cross-sector collaborators in arts and culture. Our CDC program team member Alexi notes it might be a good resource for sites that are looking for creative non-traditional partners. |

Activity 1 Roadmaps
A lot of teams are well on their way with the Activity 1 Roadmaps. The SMART goals, milestones, and planned activities are taking shape, and having those plans in place will help us connect you with other projects working with similar audiences and tactics. An EXCITE program team member should have reached out to offer assistance if your team has not completed a roadmap yet, though you can always reach out to any of us. For examples of teams’ completed roadmaps, please see those from:
Alabama A&M University & Cornell University They are located in the same folder as your team’s roadmap.
Reminder – Roadmaps are linked under “Reporting” on the EXCITE website; password is excite2021. |

Spotlight Recording and Transcripts
As a reminder, we post recordings of the non-breakout portions of our Spotlights and Insights (Activity 2) sessions on the EXCITE website under “Recordings” shortly after the events. We are also posting the recording transcripts and the zoom chat transcript. We welcome feedback on how to make all of these more useful and convenient to you. |
