KU students lost a fellow Jayhawk during fall break.
Andrew Mullin, a KU graduate in the School of Law, passed away at his home in Lawrence on Friday, Oct. 17.
Jill Jess, associate director of KU news and media relations, said she didn’t know how Mullin died. The Douglas County Coroner’s Office was not available to comment on the incident.
Gail Agrawal, dean of the School of Law, said Mullins’ friends and teachers would remember him for his “dry wit and ability to turn a phrase.” After rereading his personal statement he wrote when applying to Law School, she said, “He had a way with words that gave you some insight into his soul and himself as a person — his self-deprecating humor; a little sense of irony.”
Mullin was the second Law student to have died in recent months.
“One of the hardest things I have had to do as a dean is attempt to console grief stricken families and classmates,” Agrawal said in an e-mail. “There is a special pain and sorrow in mourning a student, inevitably younger, with so much promise to be fulfilled and so much life to be lived. We extend our deepest sympathies to Andrew’s family and friends.”
Chancellor Robert Hemenway also sent his condolences to Mullin’s family and friends.
“On behalf of the entire university community... our hearts go out to them at this time of great loss,” Hemenway said in an e-mail.
Mullin, a Summerfield Scholar, was a second-year law student who graduated with distinction with a bachelor’s in English from the University in 1998. He participated in the University Honors Program and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also studied at the American University in Cairo, Egypt.
A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday at Asbury Methodist Church, 5400 W. 75th St., in Prairie Village.
