With Degree in Hand, God Shammgod Weighing Options
6,535 days. That’s the number of days between the 1997 NBA Draft and the 2015 Providence College Commencement ceremony. Nearly 18 years between two very significant events in the life of God Shammgod. A lot happened on the court during those 6,535 days. 20 games in the NBA with the Washington Wizards who drafted him in the second round of the 1997 NBA draft. 13 years playing in leagues across the USA and the world, including stops in Poland, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Croatia and China. China was the last place he played and it was a knee injury suffered in his final season there that may have been the catalyst to him returning to Providence College and taking up his studies again on the Smith Hill campus.

Lucky Number 7: Support for Drew Brown
If you aren’t already familiar with the story of Drew Brown you can read about his battle with bone cancer here. The cliff notes version is Drew is a Providence College men’s ice hockey player who was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, during Providence’s run in the Hockey East playoffs last season. Brown spent much of the last year in chemotherapy and had a surgery to insert a metal rod into his leg.
On Saturday, February 7th the men’s hockey team and the Student Athletic Advisory Council (S.A.A.C.) are hosting Drew Brown Night. Brown was recently declared cancer-free so Drew Brown Night will be a chance to celebrate that while also raising money for the Brown family to help offset some of their medical bills. Coast to Coast Promotions will donate 100% of the revenue generated by t-shirts they are selling to the Brown family. You can purchase those t-shirts here.

Iron Chef Dominican Featuring Fr. Brophy and Ed Cooley
Father Brophy, Coach Cooley to cook for students in ‘Dominican Iron Chef’
Rev. Justin Brophy, O.P., assistant chaplain, will face men’s basketball Head Coach Ed Cooley in a defense of his “Dominican Iron Chef” title on Thursday, Sept. 25, in Raymond Dining Hall at Providence College.
The cook-off will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Students will be able to sample fare prepared by both chefs and vote for their favorite. Guests who pay for their meals also will be able to take part.
Father Brophy, who is also a special lecturer in theology, will prepare chicken waffle sliders. Cooley is likely to offer a macaroni and cheese dish, according to Stuart Gerhardt, general manager for Sodexo, PC’s food service provider.
Two years ago, Father Brophy and Rev. R. Gabriel Pivarnik, O.P., vice president for mission and ministry, assistant professor of theology, and director of the Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies, took part in the first Iron Chef challenge. Students narrowly selected Father Brophy as the winner after balloting.
Father Brophy said he was eager for another challenge. It was Gerhardt’s idea to appeal to the coaching staff, and Cooley accepted.
Both will wear aprons and chef’s hats during the competition, which will be broadcast live at www.providence.edu/live. Returning in the role of master of ceremonies will be College Chaplain Rev. James Cuddy, O.P. ’98. Read his blog post on Dominican Iron Chef.
