Did you know that the Campus Public Safety office is the home of the Lost and Found? If you have found something, please bring it promptly to our office so it has a better chance of being reunited with its owner. Please come to our office if you have lost something and we will check for you, and if we don’t have it we will note it on a master list.

However, due to the daily arrival of lost items and our very limited storage space, we will only be able to keep items for a maximum of two weeks before donating them to charitable causes, so please don’t delay if you have lost something!

Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.
