Mr. Kegan Clark, M.Ed., serves as a Program Coordinator in the Honors Academy at Texas A&M University, where he facilitates the Honors Housing Community, advises the Honors Housing Community Student Leaders, coordinates Honors Minor Seminar courses, and supports the Aggie Core Values Faculty Fellows. A low-income, first-generation college graduate, Mr. Clark is especially passionate about helping students navigate the hidden curriculum of higher education (i.e., the unspoken rules that shape a student’s experience but are rarely explicitly explained). From grasping what a credit hour really means to reading a degree plan, networking with intention, or understanding that purpose (rather than credentials) should drive one's education, he believes students deserve clear, honest guidance that he had to learn the hard way. Through honest reflection and a developmental approach, Mr. Clark encourages students to embrace uncertainty, take ownership of their path, and see success as a continuous journey rather than a fixed destination.
Previously, Mr. Clark was the instructor of record for UGST 181: Honors Family Meeting and UGST 311: Authenticity in the Age of Generative AI. His academic and professional interests center on how emerging technologies such as generative AI can promote critical reflection skills, deeper student engagement, and authentic self-authorship. Mr. Clark previously facilitated a faculty learning community on AI literacy through the Center for Teaching Excellence and has presented on the incorporation of generative AI in education at the local and national level. His campus presentations include sessions for the CTE’s Hear from Peers series, Human Resources’ Managers Minutes Deep Dives, Student Affairs Leadership Outcomes, and a Career Center AI Workshop. National presentations include at the National Collegiate Honors Council Annual Conference in October 2025 and the 2025 Teaching and Learning with Generative AI Conference.
Mr. Clark joined the Honors Academy after serving as an Academic Advisor in the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and as Program Coordinator for the Disability Resources Testing Center. Prior to joining Texas A&M University in 2020, he served as an Academic Advisor/Tutor Coordinator for TRIO Disability Support Services at Wichita State University. He holds dual bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Spanish and a Master of Education in Higher Education/Student Affairs from Wichita State University. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration at Texas A&M University.
