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.

In honor of Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement that celebrates the power of individuals to make a difference, Brittany Woodson ’20 reflects on the impact philanthropy has had on her, and on the entire University of New Haven community.
December 2, 2019
I am a proud member of the Student Philanthropy Council at the University of New Haven. It is our goal to share our mission of "spreading the spirit of giving" throughout the University community.
I believe that philanthropy means not only giving monetarily, but also giving your time to a cause that is important to you. As a student, I recognize the impact of philanthropy every single day. I see it when I am working out at the Beckerman Recreation Center, I see it when I am conducting an engineering project using state-of-the art equipment, and I see it when I am watching our football team win a game on our incredible field.
I believe it is important to take the time to recognize that everything we, as students, have access to is available to us because of the generosity of others. It is important not to take for granted all of the resources that surround us, that come from those who support the University and its mission.

The individuals that make up this extraordinarily generous community have made it a part of their goal to give back to a place that we all love. It is evident that our campus is a testament to the power of philanthropy, and I am inspired by my peers, our alumni, and our faculty and staff members who, together, make a difference on the lives of students.
Although my time as a student is coming to an end, my relationship with the University is only just beginning. I plan on giving back to the University of New Haven for years to come, so that I, too, will make a difference on the lives of future students.
