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.

Soumya Agrawal ’20 MBA began blogging while living in India, and she has brought her passion to the University of New Haven and the surrounding community, discovering new restaurants, cuisines, and a delicious sense of adventure.
April 11, 2019
Soumya Agrawal ’20 MBA says that food blogging was "up and coming" when she was living in India, and that was enough to whet her appetite.
When Agrawal started blogging for a website she describes as "India’s version of Yelp," her taste of blogging soon became a passion. Local restaurants and resorts invited her to visit or stop in for brunch, hoping that she’d write about her experience.
"I’ve always found food to be a very basic, yet important, factor in bonding with other people – whether in India or in the United States," said Agrawal, who moved to the U.S. in 2017. "It brings so many different kinds of people together, and that has always fascinated me."
A lifelong vegetarian, Agrawal says that vegetarian food is more difficult to find in the United States than in India. She sometimes makes her own recipes, which she shares with her friends and blog readers. Stuffed roasted peppers and mushroom and spinach ravioli are some of her favorites.
"When people check out my blog or my Instagram posts, they always tell me that it makes them hungry, and that’s amazing to hear," said Agrawal. "If I’m putting pictures on social media, they have to convey the essence of the food’s taste, they have to make it look tempting. My food blog has taught me about the importance of photography."

Agrawal’s experiences as a University of New Haven student have also served up opportunities to try new cuisines. Her professors took her and some of her classmates to Gabriele Ristorante Italiano, in Orange, Connecticut, where she tried eggplant parmesan for the first time. The experience left her hungry for more Italian food.
Agrawal is interested in trying well-known restaurants around the United States, and she is keeping a list of places that she’d like to try. She already has some local favorites, including Brindavan, an Indian restaurant in Milford, Connecticut, and she has her sights set on sharing her love of food beyond her blog.
"Eventually, I want to start a restaurant," said Agrawal. "I might go for a fusion, mix flavors, so people can try different things together."
