Since graduating from Georgetown, K’sean Henderson (C’12, L’18) has worked to actively live the phrase: “Student leaders become alumni leaders.” The skills Henderson honed as a student—building community, amplifying voices too often overlooked, and shaping the institution with intention—have continued to guide his service and professional path long after graduation.

Originally from Hempstead, New York, Henderson earned his B.A. in government from Georgetown University in 2012. He then moved to Mississippi where he taught eighth-grade English for three years with Teach for America. Henderson then returned to Washington, DC, to earn his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, where he served as vice president and then president of the Black Law Students Association, senior editor of the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy, and as member of Barristers’ Council (Alternate Dispute Resolution Division).

As an alumnus, Henderson has remained deeply engaged in sustaining and strengthening the Georgetown community. His service includes his work on the programming committee for three Black Alumni Summits, as class ambassador for the Class of 2012, and with the GULC Recent Alumni Advisory Council. In 2020, Henderson joined the Board of Governors, where he now serves as chair of the Nominations Committee. Henderson also chairs the Patrick Healy Fellowship Board and helped return PHF to campus in 2025. Along with his college roommates, Henderson co-established the 1440 Center for Multicultural Equity & Access Endowed Fund in support of the Center for Multicultural Equity and Access and PHF.

Henderson resides in Washington, DC, with his wife, Cortney, and is an attorney focused on government-initiated and internal investigations.
