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 a proud graduate of the University of New Haven, I am incredibly grateful for the education and experiences that have significantly shaped my career in the healthcare industry. Since completing my studies in May, I have been fortunate to join the remarkable team at Beth Israel Lahey Health.
In my role as a floating program/unit coordinator, I work closely with various surgical and intensive-care units. My main responsibilities include managing the day-to-day operations of programs and projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and that they meet quality standards.
Additionally, I oversee patient care, logistics, and finance, and I collaborate with a wonderful team to support our hardworking doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff. The most rewarding aspect of my work is knowing that our efforts positively impact the well-being of our patients and the broader community we serve.
My time at the University of New Haven was invaluable in preparing me for the daily challenges and opportunities in my profession. The faculty and staff have been incredibly supportive, and I've had the privilege of being part of a diverse and vibrant student community.
Engaging in various activities has played a major role in my growth as a healthcare professional. From participating in exciting case competitions to serving as vice president of the University’s Society of Healthcare Administration chapter and exploring research opportunities under the guidance of Dr. Pavani Rangachari, I have acquired essential skills and values that continue to shape my journey.
Moreover, working on projects with Gaylord Hospital, being mentored by Professor Lane, and completing an internship at the New Haven Health Department have provided me with hands-on experiences that I will cherish forever.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the University of New Haven for providing me with an exceptional education and a nurturing environment that has contributed significantly to my personal and professional growth. I am also deeply grateful to Beth Israel Lahey Health for giving me a platform to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
