Shaq spoke to team members at the Papa John’s located at 2697 Spring Road about the Doughs and Degrees program that gives team members the opportunity to attend college and earn their degree at no cost. Officials say Papa John’s covers tuition, books, and fees and provides access to top academic advising and guidance from learning experts and more.
