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.

For Anchal Bhatia ’24 MBA, the recent solar eclipse was a fun way to experience community at the University, while experiencing a sense of curiosity and wonder.
April 23, 2024
The 2024 Solar Eclipse earlier this month was an important event for residents of North America, as it was for the University of New Haven students. On Monday, April 8, the Astronomy Club brought everyone together to watch the Solar Eclipse in the Bixler-Gerber Quad. This eventually turned into an ‘Eclipse Party’ for Chargers and a chance for everyone to break out from the cold weather into a more mild day with some clouds and partial sun.
Starting around 1:30 p.m., students began gathering in the residential quad, where they were ready to pick up their eclipse glasses and experience the Great North American Solar Eclipse with their friends, faculty, and staff! With more than 200 members on the quad at its peak, it was an exceptional view to see everyone enjoying the solar eclipse event, and anxiously waiting for the peak eclipse moment to take place.
The Astronomy Club also had a setup of a live eclipse tracker on the quad. Graduate and undergraduate students were seen spending time together at the quad with picnic setups while enjoying snacks and beverages that added to the eclipse party.
As a viewer myself, I was thrilled to see the enthusiasm of everyone who participated. It felt like a much-needed break as the cold weather faded from that day onwards, and it was wholesome to see so many of my friends, classmates, colleagues, and faculty gathered to enjoy the solar eclipse. It indeed is true – the total solar eclipse did bring everyone together!
