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.

Kristin Jones ’19 and Karina Krul ’19 represented the University of New Haven at a nationally respected conference in Portland, Oregon, submitting their honors senior thesis project abstracts and presenting their research to scholars.
April 26, 2019
Kristin Jones ’19, a marine affairs major in the University of New Haven’s honors program, has been conducting research on fisheries management in the United States for nearly two years. Jones describes the opportunity to present her research recently at the annual meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in Oregon as a "huge deal."
"I presented to individuals who have been researching and advancing in the field for decades," continues Jones, who will be studying environmental law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in the fall. "It was important for me to attend so that I could receive feedback on my research and make connections with influential researchers in my field."
A well-regarded event for scholars in multiple disciplines related to social sciences, the event brings together scholars from across the country in fields that include environmental conservation, policy, and natural resource management.
Jones attended the conference with Karina Krul ’19, a marine biology major. Krul, whose research focuses on the effect of environmental awareness on attitudes toward sustainability, says she is grateful to have had the opportunity to present her work.
"Presenting my own research gave me confidence in my abilities and opened my eyes to all of the possibilities I’ll have after Commencement," said Krul. "It made me feel like a marine affairs professional. The entire experience was more rewarding than I ever could have imagined."

Tarsila Seara, assistant professor and coordinator of the University’s marine affairs program, attended the conference with Krul and Jones.
"This was a great opportunity for them to not only attend an important national conference, but to actively experience being in an academic setting, presenting to and answering questions from experts in their field of study," said Seara, who is also Krul’s and Jones’s thesis advisor. "Not many undergraduate students get to do this. I couldn’t have asked for better representatives for our marine affairs and marine biology programs."
