Throughout the economic despair of the Great Depression, Wick S. Sharp, the President and "Father of Pfeiffer College," maintained faith that the doors of higher education should remain open to all students who desired to learn and were willing to work to further their dreams. Through creative and far-sighted cooperative work and academic programs, Pfeiffer College helped students overcome often formidable obstacles to continue their academic progress.

The commitment of Wick Sharp to provide academic access and support to students who desire to learn continues today in the Wick S. Sharp Learning Center of Pfeiffer University. Committed to the principle of the innate value of all learners, the Learning Center provides academic support to assist traditional students in their transition from high school, and nontraditional students in their transition from community colleges, the work-place, and senior transfer institutions. The Learning Center also provides academic support throughout the "Pfeiffer Experience" and bridging activities for transition to graduate and professional schools.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to this place of challenge, support, and growth.
