Lost & found passports in State College

Lost travel visas in State College, near Old Main

I was between classes on Saturday, around 3:20 PM, when I realized my travel visas weren't in my bag. They were tucked in a slim passport sleeve inside a lightly worn backpack I carry for trips. I had just sat on a bench near Old Main and crossed College Ave toward the HUB-Robeson Center to grab a quick snack. When I stood up to check my itinerary and catch the bus back to campus, the visas were gone. I keep replaying the moment—the breeze off the Arboretum, the faded blue sleeve on the grass, and the uneasy knot in my stomach. They’re essential for an upcoming trip, and I’m hopeful someone picked them up and handed them in.
