Due to this and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place: All in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026 will transition to being held online or remotely..
Campus operations for residential students will be modified based on expected conditions. Separate messages will be sent from various offices and departments regarding changes to normal hours of operation. Current students, faculty, and staff can find the latest information about operations on myCharger (login required).
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.
Residential students should be prepared to move their vehicles, if requested, for snow removal operations. If you are parked on a public street in West Haven, please move your vehicle off-street as a snow parking ban has been issued prohibiting vehicles from parking on all public streets. A list of off-street parking lots can be found on the City of West Haven’s website.

I am grateful for the opportunities my classmates and I had to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy as part of the University’s weeklong MLK Celebration. I am proud to honor his vision and the power it has to continue to change the world for the better.

Last month, the University, with the help of Dean Rowe-Allen and Undergraduate Student Government Association vice president of diversity & inclusion Adrielys Gomez ’22 gave students University-wide a beloved and memorable opportunity to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Within the weeklong events in memory of Dr. King, we had important discussions about race, a ceremony to honor the students, staff, and faculty on campus who make a difference within our University community, a movie night, and much more!
Honoring Dr. King is very important and needed because he influenced and changed the world for the better in so many ways. Because of the dedicated and hard work of Dr. King, I’m able to stand proud at my University in the present day. Dr. King inspires me every day to speak my truth and to be a voice for the voiceless.
Dr. King spent most of his life fighting for equal rights and change. Through this, integration became legalized and normalized in America. Diversity is such a beautiful thing because it’s important to be familiar with and educated on different races, religions, and much more, which was what Dr. King was trying to achieve and prove with his fight for equality.
Everyone is different, and that’s beautiful. Differences open space for society to be open and inclusive. In 2022, the world is even more diverse, including in the workplace and in education, and it’s safe to say that Dr. King’s dream is coming to life.
