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.

Laura Miller, director of energy and sustainability, and Sam Alaimo ’21, a marine biology major and leader of the University of New Haven’s Marine Conservation Society, discuss efforts to increase visibility of the University’s sustainability initiatives, including participating in RecycleMania.
September 3, 2019
The University of New Haven community is dedicated to creating a culture of sustainability, and all students, faculty, and staff can play an important role.
During the spring semester, for the first time, the University of New Haven participated in RecycleMania, a contest that compares the recycling habits of colleges in the United States and Canada and challenges them to increase recycling efforts while decreasing waste. Categories include waste diversion, total recycling, and waste minimization.
The Office of Facilities and the Marine Conservation Society, an organization that actively works to help protect our surrounding marine environments through conservation efforts, connected following an Undergraduate Student Government Association Meeting as a way to help promote proper recycling habits to the campus.
As part of the efforts, the Marine Conservation Society conducted a Recycling Behavior Survey to see what – and if – students, faculty, and staff recycled. Out of the 100 people who took the survey, 74 percent said they recycle on campus.
"We are excited to continue collaborating with students and offices and departments across campus."Sam Alaimo ’21 and Laura Miller
One of the most surprising results? More than half of the respondents did not know that there is a battery recycling bin on campus. (It’s in Buckman Hall.) The results of the survey helped us determine where to focus our efforts to educate the campus community about the importance of recycling.
During the semester, the Marine Conversation Society set up tables in Bartels Hall to promote recycling habits across campus. The group had games that included "recycling basketball" and "is it recyclable?" The tables were a success, and students who stopped by received information about the proper recycling methods.
In addition, focus groups were held to help measure key aspects of the campus’s current recycling program. One of the findings from these focus groups was the need for more recycling awareness and signage. This led to the development of a new informational magnets that have been distributed across the campus.
As we look forward to the new academic year, we are excited to again participate in RecycleMania – an initiative that we hope to take part in annually. We are excited to continue collaborating with students and offices and departments across campus to continue building on our participation in RecycleMania and to work with members of the campus community to make our campus greener and more sustainable and to do our part to protect the environment.
