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.

Jennifer Edwards ’21, a forensic science major, always looks forward to Black History Month events and the opportunity to take part in engaging discussions about race, history, and society. That’s why she attended a recent talk on campus by Dr. Kamille Gentles-Peart, an interdisciplinary scholar whose work examines gender and culture.
"This event was important because often we overlook the history of Black female bodies," she said. "It’s great to shed light on the importance of removing the stigma associated with Black bodies."
An associate professor of communication and media studies at Roger Williams University, Dr. Gentles-Peart’s research focuses on the perceptions of Black Caribbean women in the United States.
"Black women are not monolithic," she said. "We are shaped by things like ethnicity. Not all celebrations of Black bodies are emancipatory."

Hosted by the University of New Haven’s Myatt Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Dr. Gentles-Peart visited the University as part of the Center’s annual lecture honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was also one of the many events planned as part of the University’s celebration of Black History Month.
"It’s time to recognize Black women’s pain, but also to talk about how to uplift them," said Dayquan Garrett ’20 M.A., a candidate in the University’s community psychology graduate program. "Black History Month is a time to start speaking about the true history of Black Americans and their remarkable contributions."
Students filled the Myatt Center, eager to hear Dr. Gentles-Peart’s message and to facilitate discussion and understanding.
"This talk is important because it helps people to understand what Black women are going through and what it’s like to be a Black woman in America," said Jahniya Morris ’21, a music industry major. "This was a great way celebrate Black History Month."
