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 President's Public Service Fellowship Blog
Dominique Pendleton ’20, who is working with New Haven Reads as part of the University’s President’s Public Service Fellowship, has uncovered a passion for working with kids.

My experience with New Haven Reads, a nonprofit organization focused on the education of young people, as well as the distribution of books throughout the community, has been amazing, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
This is my first real experience with a nonprofit organization, and I am learning how it operates. I have been able to witness firsthand how much work the entire team puts into making this organization a success. There is so much involvement from a dedicated administrative staff, volunteers, interns, and the community.
Working so closely with the community has given me a new perspective when it comes to volunteering and its importance. I could never have imagined how impactful the work would be, and how grateful the community is for these organizations.

Working with kids is not something that I considered for my future – until I began this fellowship. Being able to tutor kids in grades 1-12 has been great. This work gives me the opportunity to see the power of reading and how important education is to a community.
New Haven Reads is also a neighborhood book bank that is open to the public six days a week. This means that donations are dropped off, and anybody is welcome to walk through the doors and take as many books as they would like for free. This concept is unknown to many people, and they are usually in shock when they find out that all of the books are free. The book bank also does book orders, and teachers can request a box of books of a certain genre for their classrooms.
Watching New Haven Reads strive to educate young kids and reach the community through reading has been an inspiring experience.
The President's Public Service Fellowship places University of New Haven students in a nonprofit or public service work environment for eleven weeks during the summer.
