Founding
The Minority Undergraduate Law Association (MULA) was founded in the fall semester of 2004. The founders of MULA met at a Summer Scholars program held at Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law. All the ideas and concepts behind MULA were envisioned during this summer. The Scholars program was one of Dean Philip McConnaughay’s initiatives, designed and developed by Professors Beth Cook and Stephen Dodd, to prepare students that were aspiring to go to law school. It was here that four program participants, Justin Storey, Jessica Karp, Adedamola Animasaun, and Angela Fuentes, realized that the knowledge they were being taught was priceless. They wanted to relay their recently learned information to others. MULA was formed with hopes of helping under represented students fulfill their dreams of attending law school.

Mission
The Purpose of the Penn State MULA is to inspire and promote professional goals for undergraduate students who seek to pursue a legal career or anticipate attending law school. MULA has cultivated contacts with Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law, legal professionals, and other associations with similar interests to help our members learn about this profession. MULA will also help attack some obstacles students may have during the law school application period such as the admissions test, choosing law schools best suited for each student, and obtaining information about each law school.
