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.

Cassandra Pray ’17, a data science analyst, says her experiences at the University of New Haven prepared her to excel in graduate school and in her current position.
February 26, 2020
When Cassandra Pray ’17 was an undergraduate student at the University of New Haven, she decided to major in mathematics because she enjoyed using critical thinking and logic to solve problems.
“Becoming skilled at math means you are skilled at many types of problem solving, whether it’s directly mathematical or not,” she said. “For me, a degree in math meant a wide range of career possibilities.”
After graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania last year with a master’s degree in applied mathematics, she began working for Logistics Management Institute (LMI), a nonprofit consulting firm based in Virginia, where she currently serves as a data science analyst
"Get involved with research or explore internship opportunities. The undergraduate research project I worked on with Dr. El Turkey was immensely helpful as an experiential learning opportunity."Cassanda Pray '17
Pray, who describes her role as a “public trust clearance position,” works with mathematical models for LMI’s government clients. She hopes to continue to gain experience in the field of mathematical modeling, and aspires to become an operations research analyst.
“The math curriculum at the University of New Haven prepared me for graduate school, in particular, because I gained a great deal of applied math knowledge,” she said. “I was also very well prepared for my career, since I knew how to use various software tools – something that is essential.
As a member of the University’s math and physics club, Pray enjoyed meeting other students who were studying in the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The activities they took part in together, including a trip to the Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium at Yale, stood out as some of her favorite memories from her time as a Charger.
“Get involved with research or explore internship opportunities,” she encourages. “The undergraduate research project I worked on with Dr. El Turkey was immensely helpful as an experiential learning opportunity. Conferences are also great for networking and for learning about current research and activities in the field.”
