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.

Representatives from 50 companies met with hundreds of students to discuss internship and career opportunities directly related to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
March 11, 2020
Gowtham Jayakumar ’20 M.S. is preparing to graduate in May, and he is busy exploring job opportunities. A candidate in the University’s cellular and molecular biology program, he attended the University’s recent science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career expo.
"This was a great way for me to meet people and network," he said. "I am impressed by the diversity – there are companies from every field represented that offer a wide array of services and opportunities."
"This was a great way for students to get a foot in the door."Brianna King ’21
Jayakumar was one of nearly 400 students who attended the event. Hosted by the University’s Career Development Center, it brought representatives from 50 companies and organizations to connect with students, including Naval Nuclear Laboratory, Aquarion Water Company, and General Dynamics.
Miriam Ortiz, a recruiter at Jackson Labs, a biomedical research institution, says the company saw a lot of interest from biology students, in particular, and she was impressed by the students she met.
"The students were very informed," she said. "We connected with three students before the career fair, and all three came by and introduced themselves. For me, that was the highlight of the day."
In response to student feedback following previous STEM career fairs, the Career Development Center included more tech companies this year. The expo also brought more companies offering positions for chemistry and biology students, something that Brianna King ’21, a biology major interested in learning about internship opportunities, was grateful for.
"This was a great way for students to get a foot in the door," she said. "I left my resume with several companies."
