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.

Recently, the Career Development Center provided University of New Haven students with the opportunity to tour the SiriusXM headquarters in New York City and to meet with professionals at the company to discuss their backgrounds and their positions.
Alison Smith, director of internships at SiriusXM, was excited to inform the group of the new Pandora and SiriusXM merger, announced a week prior.
"This merger is expanding our group from our 35 million listeners, plus Pandora’s 73 million users," she said.
What does this mean for students pursuing opportunities in this competitive industry? Jobs and internships will be booming from this company, she said.
Students also met with Jared Fox, senior director of talent relations, and Vanessa Mojica, senior director of music programming operations, who discussed their daily operations at the station. Fox, who is in charge of bringing the talent into the station, explained that he pays attention to artists’ cues on social media.
"We believe in working as a team – if there’s a problem, we resolve it right then and there. If we can’t move on from it, these aren’t the people we want on our team." Vanessa Mojica, senior director of music programming operations
"Taylor Swift has gone on a social media blackout and has dropped small hints, so I’ve been on the phone making sure that the moment she decides to drop her next project, she’s coming to this building first," he said.
Mojica took the time to tell us, "We believe in working as a team – if there’s a problem, we resolve it right then and there. If we can’t move on from it, these aren’t the people we want on our team."
SiriusXM believes strongly in its diversity. "Improving and developing workforce diversity is a strategic imperative for our executive leadership team. We must attract, develop, and retain the nation's best talent from among the broadest range of people, backgrounds, and perspectives."
