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.

Students in the Lee College reflect on the experiences they had that led to them earning awards that recognized excellence in academics, research, campus involvement, and hands-on learning opportunities.
August 12, 2019
Alyssa Stolecki ’20, a criminal justice major, has immersed herself in hands-on learning opportunities throughout her time at the University of New Haven. Among her most memorable experiences were her internships with the U.S. Federal Air Marshals, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Paramus Police Department.
Her participation in these experiences led to her receiving this year’s Excellence in Experiential Education Award from the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences.
"I was honored to receive this award," said Stolecki, who also published a paper examining the War on Drugs that was published in the American Criminal Justice Association’s National Journal. "Experiential education opportunities drew me to the University of New Haven. To have been recognized by criminal justice faculty members as having excelled in this area is amazing."
In addition to the dozens of students who were recognized, Megan M. Murphy ’04, ’16 M.S., fire marshal and emergency management director for Trumbull, Connecticut, and Robert E. McDonald, Jr. ’86, ’95 M.S., director of NBA security and international events, were honored. They received the Alumni Fellowship Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award, respectively.
Students were recognized for excellence in areas such as academics, research, public service, and leadership. Edmund Schultz ’20, a fire science major, received the Outstanding Student in Fire/Arson Investigation Award.
"This award is a testament to the amazing opportunities that I have had at the University," said Schultz. "The fire science faculty members have a passion for helping students succeed, and they helped pave the way for me to be successful."

For Stolecki, receiving the award was meaningful recognition of her hard work, and she’s grateful for the opportunities that she has had at the University.
"I have my education and my co-curricular involvement to thank for giving me the confidence and leadership skills that I needed so that I could put myself out there in the field and be successful," she said.
