Public Safety is tracking a significant snowfall that will be arriving in our area late Sunday morning (Jan. 25). It will snow heavily throughout the day and evening eventually tapering off Monday (Jan. 26) with 10-14 inches expected statewide. A sleet and freezing rain mix is also possible along the shore. Temperatures will be in the teens and twenties.
Due to this significant winter storm and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place, all in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026 have been cancelled. All scheduled in-person classes will transition to being held online or remotely. Additional information on the virtual format for each class will be provided by your instructor.
Faculty have been asked to prepare for Online or Remote sessions in the event of in-person meeting cancellations. These options will be determined by the Faculty member and all questions should be directed to the Faculty teaching each course section. Faculty also have been asked to be very understanding and accommodating of the individual situations of their students who may have difficulty managing these alternative online or remote class meetings on short notice.
Please note that only essential employees, as previously determined by their respective department leaders, should report to campus. All other employees should fulfill the requirements of their role remotely.
Campus operations for residential students, unless otherwise noted, will operate as scheduled, though hours may be modified or changed based on the conditions. Separate messages will be sent from the Peterson Library, the Beckerman Recreation Center, and Dining Services regarding any changes to their normal hours of operation. The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation will remain open for residential students to use for study space and to participate in online classes.
Off-campus students that live in the City of West Haven should abide by the city’s parking ban during inclement weather to avoid having their vehicle tagged and towed. Please check the City of West Haven’s website for further information on their snow parking ban.

A month-long event that draws thousands of visitors and more than 400 artists to the Greater New Haven area each year, ArtSpace’s City-Wide Open Studios enables artists to share their work with the community. For the second year, the University of New Haven’s Department of Communication, Film, and Media Studies, under the guidance of adjunct faculty Nicki Chavoya, has partnered with the event to interview participating artists, explore the New Haven art scene, and exhibit students’ works.

Similar to a craft show, each participating artist at the recent ArtSpace’s City-Wide Open Studios (CWOS) hosts their own room or table. Those sharing their work range from well-established career artists to those who make their art purely out of enjoyment or as a hobby. The artists are not organized in any particular way, as individuals who have never sold a print before are right next to those who make a living by being an artist.
Each artist has their own room covered with art prints, sculptures, music, and colorful fabrics. The energy in the building is tangible. Every artist is equally proud of their work and intrigued by the work of those around them.
In room 357, the University of New Haven’s film department displayed students’ works. As visitors made their way from artist to artist, they could watch old student films or observe the process as our students work to film a music video with Ken Fabian ’21, a music and sound recording major at the University of New Haven.
There really is no common theme among the artists at CWOS. They range from the raw, political prints of Margaret Roleke, who is documenting the humanitarian crisis at the border, to an artist’s collaboration with the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History that shows different stages of an organism’s evolution through hand-stitched tapestries.
The purpose of CWOS is to be a place in which artists can display their work and make connections among fellow artists. For communication and art students, CWOS is an amazing way for us to not only network, but to see the many different ways our chosen career paths may take us.
