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.

Throughout his time as a Charger, Killian Meehan '23 has been an active member of the University community, pursuing acting opportunities on stage while also pursuing bad actors in the cyber world.
May 4, 2023
During his time at the University, Killian Meehan '23 could be found in front of a computer – or, perhaps, on stage in front of an audience. An active member of the University community, he's found a variety of ways to pursue his interests in theater and cybersecurity.
President of the Pineapple Johnny's Improv Club on campus, Meehan has been involved with the organization – as well as the Dungeons and Dragons Club – since his first year. He has also been involved with the University's Hacking Team.
"These clubs and activities have given me the opportunity to express myself," he said. "I've met some lifelong friends that I never would've encountered otherwise."
Meehan, who will accept his degree in cybersecurity and networks as part of Spring Commencement, says it's difficult to choose a single favorite memory of his time as a Charger. Rather, he says he has many "wonderful moments" that he's shared with his friends. He considers performing in the University's theater programs and putting on improv shows, as well as working in the Center for Learning Resources, to be among his most cherished memories.
A theater minor, Meehan says the Center for Student Success and his internship with Grimm, a cybersecurity company, have prepared him to excel.
"I landed an awesome internship in the exact field I wanted, thanks to the resume tips I was given at the University," he said. "During this internship, I got an opportunity to experience firsthand how the industry worked. It was truly an amazing opportunity, and I learned so many incredible things."
A professional voiceover artist and regional theater actor, Meehan plans to spend the next year creating. He says his time as a Charger taught him how to learn, and he feels confident that he's prepared to continue to learn and to succeed in his future endeavors.
"I am currently in the process of working on a handful of personal programming projects and furthering my work with my capstone team to see if we can bring our product to market," he said. "I also plan to create in the performing-arts field. Ideally, you will see me on the Broadway stage, TV, or film by day, and on a cybersecurity Red Team by night."
