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.

Jennifer Edwards ’21 is spending the summer connecting with children and families in the community, which has enabled her to discover a passion for public service and for working with kids.

Working at the West Haven Community House has completely changed my perspective of the Greater New Haven area. This summer, I have had the opportunity to inspire children and families by promoting healthy and independent lifestyles for children in the community.
I can truly see the impact I have made on the lives of children each day by how they react to me when I walk into the classroom each morning. Watching them progress gives me purpose and reminds me why I dedicated my summer to public service.
Each day at work is a new experience because we take the children on field trips Monday through Thursday. The trips allow the children to learn about what Connecticut has to offer and helps them learn about animals, science, the environment, and more. I love to see them explore opportunities they may have never had before if it were not for the West Haven Community House.
The program is committed to social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth of children, and I am pleased to be able to be a positive role model for the kids I work with. I have been able to show the children how important it is to be themselves, to be unique, and to appreciate diversity, and this has been evident in how confident each child has become over the past two months.

The program has helped me develop leadership and communication skills, as I have been responsible for ensuring that all students feel welcome, safe, and are having fun. The best part of the day is seeing how grateful they are for what the staff offers them each day.
The best and most important part of this program is that I have been able to be a positive representative of the University, and I have been able to show the impact that student leaders can have in the community by dedicating our time to public service. My work has reinforced how important it is to think less about myself and more about the needs of others.
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.
