The Arc Mercer proudly celebrates Kevin Pearce of the Campus Day Program as December 2025 Rising Star of the Month. Kevin’s creativity, enthusiasm, and determination to learn new skills have made him a standout contributor to the program’s growing media initiatives.
Creativity in Action
Kevin has developed a strong passion for audio-visual production, eagerly learning how to operate lighting, microphones, and video cameras while also contributing to the editing process. His creativity is perhaps best known through his work as the writer of the Campus Day Program’s short film Love Wars, a project that showcased both his imagination and storytelling ability.
He was nominated by Jack Dempsey, Audio-Visual Manager, who praised Kevin’s thoughtful ideas for graphics and music that elevate each production. Kevin’s curiosity and willingness to experiment with new techniques have made him an invaluable part of the team.
Celebrating Growth and Achievement
The Rising Star of the Month program recognizes individuals who demonstrate personal growth, initiative, and meaningful participation in their programs. Staff members submit nominations describing progress, achievements, and contributions that reflect each individual’s development.
Selections are made monthly by TAC, with a focus on celebrating accomplishments that might otherwise go unnoticed, from learning new skills to taking on leadership roles within program activities. The recognition reinforces the agency’s commitment to empowering individuals to pursue their interests and reach their goals.
Looking Ahead
Kevin received a signed and framed certificate, a congratulatory balloon, and a $100 gift card at the January Awards Luncheon. As a monthly recipient, he is now eligible for Rising Star of the Year recognition at the Fall Gala.
Kevin’s journey is a powerful example of how creativity and determination can open new opportunities. The Arc Mercer is proud of his accomplishments and excited to see where his talents will take him next.
