      • Lost & Found Auction

        Items which have been in Lost & Found for four (4) months or longer will be placed into the Auction held each Fall semester.  All proceeds from the Auction will fund the Student Life Mark Minor Memorial Scholarship!

        The Lost & Found Auction will be hosted online via 32Auctions each Fall semester.  Payment for items must be made through PayPal.  We are unable to accept cash payments.  Monetary donations are always welcomed.

        If you lost an item(s) from Winter, Spring or Summer, you must claim the item prior to the beginning of the Fall semester.  Once an item is listed in the auction site, it cannot be claimed. NO EXCEPTIONS!

      • Lost & Found Impact
      • How Long Does Student Life Hold Lost Items?

        Once an item is turned into Lost and Found, the item will be recorded into our database with the date it was turned in, and held for duration of 4 months. 

        All items unclaimed after 4 months will be placed in the Lost & Found Auction held each Fall Semester.  

        Water bottles and lunch bags are cleaned out on a monthly basis due to sanitary purposes.
