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.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Blog
Joey Edmonds ’22, a genetics and biotechnology major, dreams of becoming a geneticist, and his experience in the University of New Haven’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program has enabled him to begin conducting his own research.
August 5, 2019
As a member of the University’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, I am researching expression levels of different forms of a DNA repair gene called Polymerase Beta. I am running qualitative polymerase chain reaction assays (analyses), which show the difference in the regulation of the gene of interest.
Since I just finished my first year at the University, I don't have a lot of past experience working in a lab or conducting research. SURF has given me the opportunity to learn advanced lab techniques and to practice many different analyses.
In the future, I plan to continue doing research on DNA repair in the lab that I'm currently working in. My SURF mentor – and personal guide for my biological career – Dr. Ali Senejani, and my lab tech, Michelle Gregoire, have been a huge help to me as I complete my project. If I have any questions, whether I can’t find something or I don’t understand the premise of a certain concept, I know I can always ask them to help push me in the right direction.
My project has been incredibly successful, producing very interesting and novel results. In fact, it went so smoothly that I'm able to look at more forms of the DNA repair gene than I initially intended.

I feel that, in every respect, SURF has been a great experience. I have learned so much, I have met many intelligent people, and I have started on my path to realizing my dream of becoming a successful geneticist.
The University of New Haven’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program enables students to develop a proposal for a research project, conduct it while working closely with a faculty member, and present their findings to the campus community.
