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.

My experience as a volunteer filming the FOX61 Teacher’s Workshop, held recently at the University of New Haven, enabled me to learn from professionals while building my skills.
October 14, 2021
As a communication major with a concentration in TV/video production at the University, I have found that there are always plenty of opportunities for me to learn from the professors who have worked in the business, and also from local news professionals.
One recent event brought FOX61 anchors and camera operators to the University to teach local high school teachers best practices for storytelling, creating a news package, and general shooting and editing tips.
I was thrilled to take part in this event. My job was to film it, but it ended up being so much more to me. I listened to every word and tried to learn as much as possible. Most of the information each speaker shared was something that I already learned before. If it was something I had never thought of or heard before, I made sure to write it down.
It was encouraging knowing all the information I have learned at the University of New Haven is preparing me to take the next step into the real world. This event showed me that I am on a good path, but that there is always more that can be done to prepare. It has made me more determined to improve my current skills.
I enjoy making news packages. I and have done this since I was in high school, and I made them for our local YouTube channel. It was great seeing the amount of high school teachers showing up because it shows they care about their students and want to be able to give them the best information possible.
After I graduate, I dream of being an anchor or reporter for a sports station. I have such a strong passion for sports, and I like being in front of a camera, so I would love to one day work for ESPN or MLB Network.
This event taught me a lot of new skills and how to improve the skills I already have. All in all, the event will help me make better news packages and help my future career path.
