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.

Paul Nunez ’88 recently returned to his alma mater with his daughter, Michaela, a ninth grader who attended the University’s All Girls Math Academy last summer. They returned to campus recently for a reunion with the academy participants and to reflect on the impact of the experience.
“The All Girls Math Academy was an extraordinary program,” said Nunez, a graduate of the University’s mechanical engineering program who is a design engineer for ASSA ABLOY. “It hit on Michaela’s interests, including math, games, and puzzles."
"We want everyone to know about the great opportunities to study and explore math at the University of New Haven."Yevgenia Rivers, M.S., M.A.
Hosted by the University’s Department of Mathematics and Physics, the participants and their families, as well as University of New Haven students and faculty members, came together to celebrate a love of learning and their shared passion for math.
“We want everyone to know about the great opportunities to study and explore math at the University of New Haven,” said Yevgeniya Rivers, M.S., M.A., a lecturer in the University’s Department of Mathematics and Physics and director of the Math Zone. “This was also a great way for the University to be involved in the community.”
At the reunion, Daniel Cicala, Ph.D., a math instructor at the University, discussed the many career opportunities in the field of mathematics. He also gave an interactive presentation on game theory, which uses mathematical models to analyze decision making.
Skyler Szerszen ’21, a mechanical engineering major who served as a teaching assistant during the camp last summer, was excited that the girls had the opportunity to explore mathematics at a young age.
"The camp opened me up to new dimensions. I uncovered secrets of logic and math, and I was able to use that to understand concepts and put them into words."Michaela Nunez
“I’ve always loved math,” she said. “I wish I’d had the chance to take part in a program like this when I was younger.”
A six-day summer camp, the All-Girls Math Academy brings together girls entering grades 7 through 10. It includes seminars by University faculty members on special topics in math and computer science.
Michaela Nunez is already looking forward to this year’s session, which will take place in June, and will include a (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) panel, a trip to the National Museum of Mathematics in New York City, and instruction in coding.
“The camp opened me up to new dimensions,” she said. “I uncovered secrets of logic and math, and I was able to use that to understand concepts and put them into words.”
