   Rose State’s Tutoring Center is continuing its search to find English tutors to help students. In the meantime, several English professors have stepped forward to devote their time by stationing themselves in the Writing Lab, located in Humanities, Room 137.
   “Given the current education environment in Oklahoma, all these professors are working excessive hours already; for them to commit this time is a real act of dedication to our students,” English Professor Toni Castillo said.
   There are a total of six professors who volunteer their time in the Writing Lab. From now until the end of the semester the following professors will be in the lab at the mentioned times:
Monday:
3:45-5:45 p.m. Professor Toni Castillo
Tuesday:
11 a.m. - noon  Professor Sandy Keneda
2-3 p.m. Professor Trixie Walther
3-4 p.m. Professor R.J. Woods
Wednesday:
9-10 a.m. Professor Lacey Veazey-Daniel

Thursday:
8-9 a.m. Professor Trixie Walther

3-4 p.m. Professor R.J. Woods
   The Writing Lab is open to all students Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Appointments are not required, and students are free to spend as much time as they need in the Writing Lab to receive help and work on their assignment.
