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.

Yadwinder Singh ’20 MBA is a talented business student who is active in the University community. When he’s not on campus, you’ll find the “King of Indian rap music” performing at live shows or in the studio working on his new album.
November 26, 2019
Yadwinder Singh ’20 MBA is comfortable pitching an idea to a panel of investors. He can also rap in six different languages.
As a student, he found ways to combine business and beats, blending his love of music with his studies, including collaborating with classmates on rap songs, filming music videos on campus, and proposing a new music production method that joins eastern strings and western bass.
“The time I spent at the University made me a stronger,” he said. “It gave me practical learning experiences, enabling me to gain task management skills and to combine work and fun.”
"The real meaning of success is what I have learned, the friends I made, the relationships I’ve built with my professors, and the lifelong connection with the University that I will have forever." Yadwinder Singh '20 MBA
A native of New Delhi, India, Singh began writing poetry when he was 13 years old, and he then started writing music. He has performed at more than 300 live shows in more than two dozen cities, has won several rap competitions. Crowned the “King of Indian rap music,” he has hundreds of music videos on YouTube.
Whether at Indian Student Council events or at the University’s annual International Festival, Singh regularly found himself in front of an audience during his time at the University. He also delivered performances, of sorts, at pitch competitions hosted by the University’s College of Business, including the Alvine New Venture Pitch Competition, at which he presented a solar powered smartphone.
“The University helped me to challenge myself,” he said. “It also enabled me to build real-world business, finance, networking, and communication skills.”
Singh, who will be among the more than 700 undergraduate and graduate students who will be awarded their degrees during the University’s Winter Commencement on December 15, says one of his most valuable experiences was completing an internship with Northwestern Mutual, a leading financial services company. He especially enjoyed building relationships with his colleagues and clients.
“I gained important people skills, since I was working as a financial adviser and meeting high-net-worth individuals and turning them into company clients,” he said. “It was one of the best experiences of my life.”
Singh, who has a music studio in West Haven, Conn., is now producing his new album, “Global Unity,” which will include songs in English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Sanskrit, and Spanish. He plans to continue to combine his passions for music and business, and he hopes to eventually establish a music corporation.
He plans to work as a financial analyst in New York, which, he hopes, will enable him to gain the experience and knowledge he’ll need to establish his company.
“The real meaning of success is what I have learned, the friends I made, the relationships I’ve built with my professors, and the lifelong connection with the University that I will have forever,” he said. “This gives me a feeling of pride and happiness.”
