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.

Briona Grant ’20 M.A., a graduate residence director for Bethel Hall and candidate in the University’s master’s degree program in clinical mental health counseling, was one of several students who was recently honored at an awards ceremony for demonstrating leadership, promoting diversity, and for being a "fully charged" member of the campus community.

I was privileged to receive the Graduate Assistant of the Year Award for the 2018-2019 academic year at the annual University of New Haven Student Awards Ceremony. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to receive this award and to be recognized for the work that I am doing.
I work as a graduate residence director for the Office of Residential Life, and I have been with the department for the last year. I supervise Bethel Hall, a first-year residence that is truly my home away from home. I also work alongside six amazing resident assistants and one academic peer mentor to create an inclusive community and to create a safe, respectful, diverse, and enjoyable environment for first-year students.
In addition to the staff members in my community, I am also lucky enough to have colleagues and supervisors within the Office of Residential Life whose passion and dedication inspires me daily. These individuals have made my transition into this department, as well as to the University, as seamless and as smooth as possible, and I want to take this opportunity to thank them as well.
During the upcoming academic year, I plan to continue to foster interpersonal relationships with residential students, to connect with campus partners within the Division of Student Affairs, and to immerse myself into initiatives aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion through programming. I serve on the Diversity and Education Programming Committee within the Office of Residential Life, and I am excited to see this committee expand and become even more active next year.

Receiving the Graduate Assistant of the Year Award has instilled a newfound passion and dedication in me, and I am excited to continue the work that I am doing with resident students to foster a holistic, well-rounded educational experience. I am motivated to continue to work hard, to be a positive influence, and most importantly, to have fun with all of the opportunities that I am granted while, hopefully, inspiring others to do the same. #LivingCharged
