In recognition of his exceptional work, Aditya received a $500 cash prize for developing the solution that best met the project's objectives while delivering the strongest overall user experience.

In this role, Aditya will continue enhancing and supporting the application, gaining valuable professional experience while contributing to a technology solution designed to improve community health and wellness.

"Aditya's achievement is a perfect example of what happens when classroom learning meets real-world opportunity," said Dr. Michael Mikota, President of Spartanburg Community College.
