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.

Whether he is conducting research or helping friends with their math homework, Nathan Waskiewicz ’20 enjoys the challenge of a math problem. He’s looking forward to applying his education to pursue a career as an actuary.
March 13, 2020
Nathan Waskiewicz ’20 says that although he has always been known as the "math guy," he became especially passionate about the subject during his senior year of high school.
When he began his studies at the University of New Haven, Waskiewicz was an engineering major. Although he says he enjoyed his coursework, he realized his true passion was for mathematics, and he changed his major.
"I appreciate that faculty members incorporate a lot of computer programming into our math classes."Nathan Waskiewicz ’20
"The thought of focusing on math was enticing to me, however alien that sounds to most people," he said. "I love being a math major because it enables me to further explore the topics that interest me the most."
Pursuing research with Houssein El Turkey, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, enabled Waskiewicz to explore working in Anti-Ramsey Theory and Combinatorics, to, as he said, "count the minimum number of colors needed to guarantee that any coloring of a set of numbers will give a ‘rainbow solution’ to an equation."
Waskiewicz recently submitted the paper about the project to a journal for publication, and he presented his work to the Mathematics Department last semester.
"It was a pleasure to work with him on the math research project," said Dr. El Turkey. "I’ve seen firsthand how his curiosity and mathematical creativity developed over the course of the class and project. He is really passionate about mathematics."
A member of the University’s math and physics club, Waskiewicz enjoys sharing his knowledge and appreciation of math with his professors and classmates. He enjoys exploring problems and learning new types of math. He also, at times, becomes the teacher, helping classmates with their math homework.
Waskiewicz, who is interested in becoming an actuary, plans to pursue a career working with data. He is also interested in pursuing a master’s degree in data science at the University of New Haven. He credits his coursework with preparing him for his graduate studies and career.
"I appreciate that faculty members incorporate a lot of computer programming into our math classes," he said. "On top of learning the mathematical concepts, we’re learning programming languages, as well as how the math we’re learning applies to problems in the real world."
