Lost and Found Promotion

    Hello all. The Univ. of WA Husky Union Building (HUB) is looking for ways to increase promotion of our campus lost and found service to the UW community. I am curious what ways other Student Unions promote their lost and found in hopes that we can increase engagement with our lost and found service. We are looking for things like promotional events, advertising methods, and other miscellaneous things your Union may do to drive community engagement. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Dylan,

    Thanks for bringing this up—Lost & Found really is one of those “unsung hero” services that deserves more visibility!

    At UNT, we’ve been working on a few engagement strategies:

    • Tabling during orientation and flash sessions to introduce incoming students to Union services, including Lost & Found.
    • Partnering with our Marketing team to launch a campaign using social media, digital signage, QR codes at our Info Desk, and handout cards where students can jot down contact info in case they lose something.

    These efforts have helped increase awareness and make the service feel more accessible. Happy to chat more if you’d like to exchange ideas!👍🏼

    Michigan, Virginia Tech, Rutgers-New Brunswick, others use Crowdfind, and it’s pretty cool and easy. Just need to let students know it’s out there. And we’d love to have them as a corporate partner!
