In January of 2004 the doors of The Marsha Sharp Center for Student-Athletes opened to meet the needs of the student-athletes of Texas Tech University.

This state-of-the-art facility is one of the finest in the nation and was designed to ensure academic success for each student-athlete. Responsibility for academic achievement rests with each Red Raider, and assistance by the Athletic Academic Services staff -- with full support of the Texas Tech coaching staff -- helps those student-athletes attain their academic goals.

Through the programs of the Academic Services office, such as the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills program, and the Texas Tech Student Affairs Office, student-athletes have the best student services at their disposal. The Marsha Sharp Center is at the center of support for student-athletes balancing academics, athletics and life after sport.

The Marsha Sharp Center for Student-Athletes provides sufficient space for private study, a state-of-the art computer lab, supplemental instruction classrooms, and private conferencing areas for tutoring and mentoring appointments.

Texas Tech Academic Hall of Fame

The Texas Tech Academic Hall of Fame, located between the computer lab and conference room, recognizes those student-athletes who excelled both in the classroom and on the field, and provide a lasting legacy of their academic accomplishments.
