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.

This Thanksgiving season, students reflected on what they are thankful for while paying it forward, working on projects to enrich the University and local communities.
November 25, 2019
Lauren Molfetta ’22, a forensic science major, recently sat at a table in the lobby of Bartels Hall, collecting donations of “fun” band-aids to donate to a local children’s hospital. Students hoped the band-aids would be more than simply first aid for the kids who would receive them.
“Getting a fun band-aid could brighten a kid’s day,” she said. “It feels good to help people, whether or not it is someone you know personally.”
The band-aid drive was part of a Week of Service that students recently took part in, working on projects that, they hoped, would bring a smile to someone’s face. They also painted rocks with notes of inspiration to be left around campus to encourage their classmates, as well as suncatchers to be donated to a local nursing home.
"There are lots of people who are less fortunate than we are, and we should all take time to give back. Something that may seem small to us could mean a lot to someone else."Meghan Mammola ’19, ’21 M.S.
Roland Galvez ’19, a recent graduate who is now interning in the University’s Center for Student Engagement, Leadership, and Orientation (CSELO), helped coordinate the week’s events.
"I have seen amazing community service events on campus that enable students to serve the community while interacting with other students,” said Galvez, who earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. “I especially enjoyed ‘Peanut Butter Jelly Time,’ an event at which students made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that were donated to local homeless shelters."
Students also endeavored to brighten mealtime for local seniors. Meghan Mammola ’19, ’21 M.S. was among those who decorated placemats for Meals on Wheels that will accompany meals delivered to local senior citizens.
“It is important that we all realize how fortunate we are,” said Mammola, a candidate in the University’s master’s degree program in cybersecurity. “There are lots of people who are less fortunate than we are, and we should all take time to give back. Something that may seem small to us could mean a lot to someone else.”
