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 an intern with Hartford Healthcare’s St. Vincent’s Medical Center, I had myriad rewarding opportunities to connect with the community, learn from professionals with a commitment to service, and to make a difference in the lives of others.
June 5, 2023
One of the best decisions I have ever made during my time at the University of New Haven was choosing to complete an internship. Serving others is the epitome of my life’s journey. Thanks to the guidance of Quian Callender from Hartford Healthcare, I was able to combine my love and passion for serving others with my internship placement.
I was accepted as an intern at Hartford Healthcare’s St. Vincent’s Medical Center (HHC – SVMC), where I worked as the “Mission and Services and Community Impact Intern.” This job was perfect for me because it reflected my beliefs, vision, and mission in a professional setting.
One of my favorite initiatives during my internship was the biweekly food distribution at St. Vincent's Medical Center. The distribution took place on the premises, and staff and workers were encouraged to volunteer and assist with the distribution.
Initially, we identified several ways to improve the process for workers, volunteers, and community members. I was encouraged by the team's appreciation of my input during our team meetings, and it was fulfilling to see my suggestions implemented over the following weeks. Witnessing the smooth execution of the improved process was amazing.
As an intern, I never imagined that my input would be valuable, but the team at SVMC demonstrated how much they appreciated my contributions. Participating in the planning and execution of this initiative was my favorite part of the internship because it was hands-on and allowed us to interact closely with community members.
My experience at SVMC gave me a newfound appreciation for the organization's mission-driven approach. St. Vincent's mission is to provide exceptional healthcare to all, with a special focus on underprivileged and vulnerable populations. Every individual in the organization is deeply committed to the mission and involved in various projects aimed at serving the community. This dedication and devotion to serving and working to the best of their ability left a lasting impression on me.
I am grateful to my wonderful preceptor, Edna Borchetta, and her incredible team (Citlaly, Patty, Marilyn, and Lauren) for warmly welcoming me and giving me an unforgettable, inspirational experience.
