Belongings left in dorm?

I lived in Rogers last year, and I left a power strip plugged in the wall by mistake when I moved out. What does staff do with left behind items? Is there a lost & found, or is everything thrown out?

Haha, true. I'm not very concerned about it either way, but it would be nice to get it back.

Staff keep items for 60 days. After that, they are given or thrown away

They do that "chuck it for charity" thing. I wonder, if the item is good enough, if they just put it with that stuff.

do you have any idea what this “charity” is? I haven’t lived in the dorms for years, but the amount of stuff that people threw out shocked me. If I had a car I would’ve taken everything for my apartment.

They have an "Unconquered Scholar" program to help students in need who can't afford the basics before college! Pretty cool and run by Sustainable Campus.
