A LEGACY IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

In 2012, while teaching at WMU-Cooley, Prygoski suffered a stroke, which took him out of the classroom. Two of his children, Jeff and Alicia, chose to become attorneys and attended WMU-Cooley. As the younger Prygoskis walked across the stage to accept their diplomas in 2016, they were met by their father who presented each of them with their diplomas.

“Cooley was actually a big part of my life growing up. I remember the excitement of visiting my dad’s office and attending occasional graduation ceremonies as a kid. It was always on my radar as an option for law school, even though I didn’t decide that I actually wanted to go to law school until much later,” said Alicia Prygoski.
