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.

University and Lee College leaders coordinated a visit to Connecticut a contingent from the University of Tirana, Albania, further strengthening the University of New Haven’s role as a leader in fostering global academic partnerships.
February 18, 2025
In December 2024, the University of New Haven had the distinct honor of hosting a delegation from the University of Tirana, Albania, as part of a collaborative visit supported by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Presence in Albania. This milestone visit, led by Rector Artan Hoxha and Dean Dorina Hoxha of the Law School at the University of Tirana, represented a critical step in fostering innovation and excellence in criminology education and research.
The University of New Haven warmly welcomed the delegation, with engagements led by President Jens Frederiksen, Ph.D.; Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Nancy Savage, Ph.D.; Vice President for Government Affairs and Global Engagement Mario Gaboury, Ph.D.; Interim Dean of the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences David Schroeder, Ph.D.; and Lee College Acting Associate Dean Michael Lawlor, J.D.
I was pleased to serve as the liaison between the two universities, helping to facilitate the visit with my colleagues.
A highlight of the visit was the signing of a letter of intent of collaboration between the University of New Haven and the University of Tirana, formalizing our shared commitment to advancing academic partnerships, faculty and student exchanges, and joint research initiatives.
The delegation also had the opportunity to meet with world-renowned forensic scientist Dr. Henry C. Lee, and they also participated in a presentation and tour of the Henry C. Lee Forensic Institute, led by Dr. Brooke Kammrath and Dr. Claire Glynn. This visit showcased the Institute’s state-of-the-art forensic science applications and underscored the importance of bridging theory and practice in higher education.
Additionally, the delegation engaged in dynamic discussions with senior faculty and researchers from the Criminal Justice Department, exchanging ideas on curriculum development, criminology research, and innovative teaching methods.
The visit also included a meaningful exploration of Connecticut’s legal and political landscape, coordinated by Prof. Lawlor. This included meetings with Connecticut State Representative Michael Quinn, Connecticut State Senator Martin Looney, and Connecticut Supreme Court Justice Andrew McDonald at the State Capitol and the state Supreme Court, respectively.
This visit solidifies the University of New Haven’s role as a leader in fostering global academic partnerships and strengthens our shared vision of advancing education, research, and practical innovation in criminology. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with the University of Tirana and contributing to the future of global criminal justice education.
