[Tom Hanks](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:TomHanks,00.html)‘ charitable lost-and-found service is a big success!

The actor’s viral search for a Fordham University student in an attempt to [return her lost student ID](http://www.people.com/article/tom-hanks-found-fordham-student-id) is officially over: Lauren has been found! Now she just needs that identification card back.

The college student appeared on _Good Morning America_ on Wednesday, a day after Hanks [tweeted](https://twitter.com/tomhanks/status/651427268712112128/photo/1?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) a photo of her card, which he found in a New York City park.

“I go to Fordham University and I live in Lincoln Center,” Lauren explained during _GMA_‘s Pop News segment. The student was headed into a nearby park for a run, with her ID stuck into a running arm band with her phone. When she removed the phone to take a “fall” Instagram photo, Lauren said the ID fell out, unbeknownst to her.

Lauren said she didn’t respond to Hanks immediately because she doesn’t have a Twitter profile. It was her professor who finally brought the epic discovery to her attention.

“I’m sitting in the library trying to get homework done, and I get an email with a link to Twitter that said ‘You’re famous,’ ” she said.

Needless to say, Lauren didn’t get any homework done.

The student, who already paid $20 dollars to get a new card, said she still hasn’t heard from Hanks’ office.

“Tom, I’m here,” she joked.
