40 Years - 40 Stories | Story #30: Celebrating UthMpact Class XV Graduates – Madeline Aranda & Trace Braun! 🎓🌟

UthMpact hosted its graduation ceremony for high school student leaders who successfully completed the 2025-2026 UthMpact Leadership Class XV program on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at the Magnolia Building in Lakeland.

Nearly 550 students representing every high school in the county have been enriched by being a member of the UthMpact Leadership Program since its inception. This Leadership program is spearheaded by InnerAct Alliance & its coalition partners StandUP Polk and UthMpact, along with local business and community partners, to assist teens in developing crucial leadership skills.

Today, we celebrate two outstanding graduates:
🎓 Madeline Aranda
University of Central Florida
Majoring in Advertising
🎓 Trace Braun
University of Miami
Majoring in Marketing

About UthMpact Leadership:
Participants complete a training retreat and travel throughout the community on monthly Leadership Days to meet with community leaders and experience the inner workings of local volunteerism, business, government, healthcare, education, and law enforcement.

UthMpact is a coalition of teen leaders committed to educating their peers about key substance abuse prevention messages. The group's most prominent projects are Project Prom & Project HOCO, providing formal wear and accessories to high school students and educating about risky behaviors during prom, graduation, and homecoming, as well as the UthMpact Facts social norms program sharing the positives in Polk youth culture—that most teens are choosing NOT to use substances.

Congratulations, Madeline and Trace! We are so proud of your accomplishments and can't wait to see the incredible things you'll achieve in the future! 💙
