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.

Thanks to the Virtual Career Fair hosted by the University’s Career Development Center, I gained meaningful interviewing experience and a sense of confidence about my future success in the finance field.
October 21, 2020
Taking advantage of this fall’s Virtual Career Fair was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a student at the University of New Haven. Not only was I able to talk to representatives from four different companies I truly believe in, but I was able to have four unique conversations with recruiters who were there to help me grow my professional career.
As a student-athlete, I find it important to make meaningful connections on and off the field. I’ve grown to understand how important connections can be as an athlete, and I hope to make more as I prepare to enter the world of finance.
Thanks to Professor Leah Hartman, I was able to quickly download the Career Fair Plus application and easily set up all four of my interviews. After selecting the companies, I found the most appropriate ones for my major, and I was able to select who to talk with and when the interview would take place. With each 10-minute window, I was given the opportunity to show what I had to offer and share my personal experiences as a student looking to start my professional career.
By taking the time to research each individual business, I went into each interview prepared and ready to showcase why I could be a great potential intern/worker. Having key talking points and questions on hand prior to the interview gave me an edge and a sense of confidence.
Not only did I find these interviews incredibly useful, but I had the chance to make meaningful connections with employers in a one-on-one scenario. The recruiters already had my profile and resume on hand through the Career Fair Plus application, which gave me the chance to focus on the conversation.
As Prof. Hartman explained, it is profoundly important that, as students, we get as much experience with the interview process as possible. Even if the conversation didn’t go as planned or they didn’t have any opportunities for us, the practice is still a great way to gain experience and improve.
From the interviews I completed, three recruiters took my resume for potential opportunities for the summer of 2021, and one company has already reached out for a follow-up interview later this month. I left feeling optimistic about my future success and prepared for my next interview.
