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 a peer career advisor in the University of New Haven’s Career Development Center, I enjoy helping students with their career and internship goals. I am looking forward to continuing my work this fall as a graduate student.
July 10, 2020
Working as a peer career advisor (PCA) for the Career Development Center has been great because I have gained a great deal of knowledge and skills regarding career services. I have had many responsibilities such as meeting with students, conducting workshops and presentations, working on campus events, and office projects.
When meeting with students, I usually to discuss topics such as resume and cover letter writing, job/internship search strategies, LinkedIn profile reviews, mock interviews, and interviewing tips. Students usually make appointments to come in and meet in person, but we have been working virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic, so students connect with us via Zoom.
"It feels great to help students work toward achieving their career goals. It is even more enjoyable when you work with people who have the same mindset and goals."Samantha Roth '20, '22 MBA
I really enjoy being a PCA. I am very interested in the work we do, and I enjoy the interaction with students, and working with amazing staff. I want to have a career in human resources (mainly recruiting), so I love helping students with their resumes and prepping them for upcoming interviews. It is great to see them relieved after finishing their resume or acing an interview after we provide tips and help them practice. It feels great to help students work toward achieving their career goals. It is even more enjoyable when you work with people who have the same mindset and goals. Everyone in the office is dedicated to helping each student pursue a successful career path. They all work hard to provide the best resources for every single student.
Since the CDC has been working remotely, we are trying to stay connected with students, holding open Zoom hours. During this time, students can stop in to ask any career-related questions they might have. We are unable to meet in person, but this is a great alternative to keep providing resources to students. Our workshops are also on Zoom, and they are posted on our website and on myCharger.
Working remotely is very different from being on campus every day. I miss being in the office with the rest of the staff and seeing students. Projects are still given to us virtually during our hours and every Wednesday we have a team meeting to catch up. I love these meetings because it is not just about work. We open up the conversation and discuss how we are doing during this challenging time. It is a very supportive environment and I am grateful to be a part of this staff.
Even though everything is virtual now, we are still here to provide all students with the same resources. If any students need help with career related topics (resume and cover letter writing, job/internship search strategies, LinkedIn profile review, mock interviews, or interviewing tips) or have any questions in general, they can always email the CDC at Careerdevelopmentcenter@newhaven.edu, log in to one of the workshops, or join an open Zoom session.
Being a PCA has not only provided me with new knowledge and experience, but I have gained friendships and guidance throughout this time. I just graduated with my bachelor’s degree and I am looking forward to starting graduate school at the University this summer to earn my MBA. I will be returning to the CDC as a graduate assistant, and I am excited to continue working alongside people who are passionate about seeing students succeed in their chosen career path.
