God Shammgod gets Providence College degree 18 years later

Posted May 24, 2015
God Shammgod had a breakout season in 1997 that led the PC Friars to the Elite 8 during his Sophomore season. 18 years later, after pursuing his dreams in the NBA, Shammgod returned to PC and earned his degree he was not able to finish. “I want to be a giver. Most of my life I received and things like that, but God’s purpose for me is to be a giver like he was. And I just feel I’m serving a great purpose in my life, helping young kids going through some of the things I went through,” said Shammgod. (WPRI)
