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.

Studying abroad is something that every student at the University of New Haven should do. Whether it is two weeks, one month, or an entire semester, the lifelong friendships and memories you will make are priceless. Going to Europe this summer for a month changed my entire perspective on my career and the world as a whole.
I thought I would share some tips and tricks that might help the students preparing to spend the fall semester abroad.
Tip number one: Remember you are here to learn. Understanding the balance between exploring a new place with new friends and knowing when it is time to work is something everyone should know when studying abroad.

Tip number two: Know that your professors are here to help. Whether you are struggling with work, or acclimating to a new environment, or you are getting lost in a city where people don’t speak your language, your professors are there to help you no matter what. The professors abroad want you to have the experience of a lifetime.
Tip number three: Have fun! Make the most of your educational opportunities and enjoy your surroundings. Breathe in the new air and never hesitate to explore. I promise you that home will be here when you get back. Meet new people, and try new things. You never know when you will be back in these places!
