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.

Virág Gulyás, an international relations and branding expert, recently visited the University of New Haven to help launch a new speaker series about combating instances of antisemitism and promoting human rights.
October 14, 2019
Vu Nguyen ’20 wants to learn about different ways of looking at the world. That’s why he decided to attend a program on campus sponsored by the University’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Council that featured a lecture by Virág Gulyás titled "Antisemite to Zionist."
"It’s important for young adults to learn about different viewpoints," said Nguyen, a marketing major. "The idea that I can’t possibly understand something because I am not part of a certain group – whether it is a race or a gender – is not true. If you take the time to understand, it is possible to understand. I’m glad Ms. Gulyás discussed that."
An international relations and branding expert, Gulyás, a native of Hungary, admits she grew up in an insular anti-Semitic environment. Although she is not Jewish, she has become a pro-Israel voice and a Zionist, a prominent voice for Jewish people in America. Her blog, "Almost Jewish," is well known in the United States and in Israel.
A former European Union diplomat, she recently completed a master’s degree in Jewish studies, her second advanced degree. She has been working for years on several high-profile educational and public relations campaigns that aim to correct the false narratives around Israel.

Gulyás told the University community her story, encouraging her audience to learn from history and to change the future.
"It’s really hard to stand up for each other," she said. "We don’t even stand up for ourselves. It’s hard to stand up for a Jewish person because you face antisemitism without being a Jew."
Gulyás was the first of four speakers to visit the University as part of a series organized by the University’s IDEA Council. In response to the growing number of incidents of antisemitism across the country, the IDEA Council created a working committee centered around fighting antisemitism that is focusing on exploring new approaches to help combat these incidents – especially on college campuses.
The University’s yearlong speaker series will focus on combating antisemitism and promoting human rights.
"It’s a polarizing topic, and this is a good opportunity to get to hear another side," said Ken Fabian ’20, a communication major. "Diversity of thought is important, and events like this are good opportunities for students to learn about different points of view and from people’s firsthand experiences."
Added Anna Downs ’20, a communication major, "It’s a topic you hear about in the media a lot, and I was interested in hearing about her experience."
Anyone interested in finding out about future speakers in the series should email Prof. Martin A. Goldberg at mgoldberg@newhaven.edu.
