The Daily Bruin

Our wonderful custodians have been hard at work deep-cleaning all of the residences since school let out, and they have been bringing copious amounts of left-behind items to the lost and found, including clothing, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, a backpack, a rug runner, a scooter, long mirror, and various other things.

Many of these items came from the Lewis Apartments, Winters Apartments, Carey 2, Brandt (men’s side), etc. Now that you’ve unpacked, did you leave anything behind in those residences? If so, please contact security to describe your left-behind item(s), as most are tagged with where they were found.

Claimed items will only be kept until the first week of school, and the unclaimed items will be donated to charitable causes soon due to lack of space, so please call 503-554-2090 or email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu to describe your left-behind item(s).

Please be considerate of our guests for Summer Visit Day tomorrow (Friday) by avoiding parking in the Hoover and Stevens parking lots. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kelly Friesen at kfriesen@georgefox.edu or ext. 2248.
