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.

This summer, I volunteered at the Yale Prison Education Initiative (YPEI) at Dwight Hall as part of the University’s President’s Public Service Fellowship. I was surprised by just how much I learned and developed important skills, including resilience.

I entered the President’s Public Service Fellowship ready to serve the community around me. Honestly, at first, when I was learning about the program, I thought Dean Baker might have been overselling it. I thought there was no way that I would be learning so much while I was involved. I expected to be working in a remote location doing something I didn’t yet know, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
After being involved for about two and a half months this summer, I think the program was undersold.
I gained so much from being a part of the President’s Public Service Fellowship. I learned that I could accomplish whatever it is that I set my mind to. While I had always believed that, I had never been tested like I think I was this summer.
I spent the summer volunteering at the Yale Prison Education Initiative (YPEI) at Dwight Hall. When I started, I was terrified about going into the facility because I don’t like walking into an environment in which I don’t know what I’m going to encounter. Then, I got injured and was on crutches for about two weeks, and to top it all off, I got a cold out of the blue. I had just about every obstacle I could think of thrown my way, but I persevered. I kept going because the job was important to me. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it.
I’m a planner, so having to adjust my entire summer plan was challenging, but I proved to myself that I can push past the roadblocks that are in my way and still do what I set out to do, which was to help the community.
