The West Haven area has received a significant snowfall with 16 inches of snow already on the ground. Due to this and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place: All in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026 will transition to being held online or remotely..
Campus operations for residential students will be modified based on expected conditions. Separate messages will be sent from various offices and departments regarding changes to normal hours of operation. Current students, faculty, and staff can find the latest information about operations on myCharger (login required).
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.
Residential students should be prepared to move their vehicles, if requested, for snow removal operations. If you are parked on a public street in West Haven, please move your vehicle off-street as a snow parking ban has been issued prohibiting vehicles from parking on all public streets. A list of off-street parking lots can be found on the City of West Haven’s website.

Kimberly Argueta ’17, ’19 M.S., who graduates from the University of New Haven this month, focused her research on testing alternative ways to treat Lyme disease.
May 7, 2019
As Commencement approaches, we’ll introduce you to some members of the University’s Class of 2019. Next up is Kimberly Argueta ’17, ’19 M.S., a cellular and molecular biology student, whose favorite memories include presenting her research on campus and meeting Dr. Henry C. Lee.
When Kimberly Argueta ’17, ’19 M.S. discovered her interest in pathology as an undergraduate at the University of New Haven, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in the field.
As a graduate student in the University’s cellular and molecular biology program, Argueta became interested in conducting research. For the last two years, she was a member of the University’s Lyme Disease Research Group, focusing on testing alternative methods for treating the disease.
"In addition to my research, I was able to mentor my fellow undergraduate and graduate students in the Lyme Disease Research Lab in cell culturing," said Argueta. "Mentoring has taught me how to teach students and how to provide support throughout their educational experience."
Argueta has shared her passion for research with students in other ways. She has demonstrated how to differentiate between living and dead cells at the University’s Accepted Student Days for prospective students, and she has served as a teaching assistant for cell culture lab courses.
"I’m genuinely passionate about cell culturing," said Argueta. "Having the ability to assist professors and serve as a teaching assistant motivated me to continue improving and strengthening my skills."
"While at the University, I have continuously evolved as a person. I’m grateful for all of the extraordinary experiences that I have had as a student."Kimberly Argueta ’17, ’19 M.S.
An active member of the campus community, Argueta has been involved with several organizations, including Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, the Latin American Student Association, and Students Making an Impact on their Living Environment (SMILE). Some of her favorite memories from her time as a Charger were the result of her involvement on campus – as well as meeting Dr. Henry C. Lee, someone she looks up to.
A volunteer, and, later, an intern with Yale-New Haven Hospital’s Geriatric Elder Horizon program, Argueta plans to go to medical school. As one of approximately 40 participants in the University of New Haven’s 2019 Graduate Student Showcase, she has already had opportunities to present her research.
"I was one of the six winners, and I consider that to be one of my favorite and most rewarding experiences," said Argueta. "While at the University, I have continuously evolved as a person. I’m grateful for all of the extraordinary experiences that I have had as a student."
