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.

As part of the University of New Haven’s Centennial, we are celebrating 100 years of classes. I am looking forward to showing my Charger pride with my fellow Chargers through a fun social media campaign.

On September 19, 2020, the University of New Haven celebrates an enormous milestone in our Centennial year by officially unveiling the Charger statue. It was conceived by students to serve as a symbol of the power, resilience, and the enduring strength of the University community.
The Charger statue is located right next to the David A. Beckerman Recreation Center, and the space serves as a gathering area for the Charger community. We look forward to hosting many alumni events here in the future.
In one of my many on-campus positions, I work as a Charger ambassador, providing tours to prospective students and their families. One of my new favorite places to highlight on my tour is the Charger statue. It ignites a sense of community in not just our current students but our potential future Chargers as well.
I have recently taken the opportunity to work with the Office of Advancement as one of the communications media interns. This position has given me the unique opportunity to work alongside University staff and my fellow peers. I am grateful to work with Marya Neary, the campaign director for the Office of Advancement, and Hannah Providence ’22, the other communications media intern who I’ve worked alongside since the beginning of the semester. Hannah and I will be working on many projects to highlight important milestones for students and alumni as we continue the University’s Centennial celebration.
One of the goals of our internship is to embody what the Charger statue stands for – strength, resilience, and power – through our communications initiatives. This month, the University is celebrating a tremendous milestone in our history: 100 years of classes.
As a way of officially unveiling and celebrating this momentous occasion, I am reaching out to you, the Charger community. Let’s celebrate 100 years of classes in a fun way. I’m personally asking all students, faculty, and staff to take a picture with the new Charger Statue before or on September 19 and post it on social media with the hashtag #100YearsofClasses. Alumni and friends of the University can show their support by sharing their favorite photo from their time on campus.
We would like to celebrate this significant landmark by flooding social media (Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok) with pictures. Make sure you follow COVID-19 guidelines when taking your pictures and that you are mindful of physical distancing protocols. We look forward to seeing your beautiful photos of you and the Charger statue with the hashtag #100YearsofClasses on September 19. Don’t forget, whoever comes up with the best caption will win a small prize.
