Our Mission Statement:

The Good Mule Project is a student-led, nonpartisan initiative that works to bring local, national, and international social justice, diversity, and sustainability issues to the University of Wyoming campus. By working to inform students on an assortment of causes as well as provide a plethora of activism tools, the Good Mule works towards turning students into engaged world citizens. In the process of creating world citizens, the Good Mule hopes to also spread awareness on social issues to the University of Wyoming community as a whole.

Our Name:

A Mule is a hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It possesses the event temper, patience, endurance and surefootedness of the donkey as well as the vigor, strength, and courage of the horse. Mules are known for their steadfastness in carrying out their jobs. That is what the Good Mule Project tries to create in students, the passion necessary to continue to push forward the good fight for causes that are important to them. We hope to help students become Mules; to become vessels for change.

Get Informed. Get Involved. Get Active.
