I want my communities to be safe &amp; healthy so we can continue using our voices for positive change!\u201d wrote Olivia Magby, a senior at the university, in an Instagram post on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRiJEeTseSs\/\"> ULV Vaccine Ambassadors account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow vaccine ambassador Jennifer Reyes posted, \u201cI became a vaccine ambassador because I love working with communities especially communities that have low resources and being able to raise awareness about the vaccine in those communities will create a big change and I\u2019m glad I can be a part of that change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chaplain Zandra Wagoner, who worked closely with the vaccine ambassadors, said that they \u201c<span>know the strategy is not to walk into conversations and convince people. It\u2019s not about an argument. It\u2019s about engaging with people and hearing other people\u2019s fears and concerns, giving an open space for conversation. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve done\u2014they\u2019ve opened up conversation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe always talk about that,\u201d Wagoner continued. \u201cAn argument never changes someone\u2019s beliefs and practices.
