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 of New Haven students explored topics ranging from wartime trauma to disinformation campaigns while building academic and professional connections in the field of Russian, East European, and Eurasian studies.
May 2, 2025
Three students from the University of New Haven presented research papers at the 4th Annual Student Conference of the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Northeast Network (REEESNe) earlier this semester at Yale University. The two-day conference brought together approximately 80 undergraduate and graduate students from universities and colleges in the northeast, including eight students in exile from Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The University of New Haven is an active member of this consortium and hosted a REEESNe faculty workshop in Spring 2024. Students were joined by faculty moderators Daria A. Kirjanov Ph.D. (member of conference organizing committee), Bradley Woodworth Ph.D., and Olena Lennon Ph.D.
Nicolas Catrambone ’26, a psychology major with a minor in Russian, presented a paper entitled “Processing Trauma and Magical Thinking Displayed in World War 2 Memoirs.” Derek Roldan ’25, a International Affairs major with a minor in Russian, presented a paper entitled “American Political Apathy: The Effectiveness of Russian and Chinese Disinformation in the United States.” And Owen Jeffrey Butler ’27, a National Security major and Russian minor, delivered his research in a paper entitled “Russian Use of Disposable Infantry in the Invasion of Ukraine.”
Students were joined by University of New Haven alumna Aemin Becker ’18 who talked about her career path from National Security major and studying Russian to her current position as a consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton, the largest provider of AI to the federal government, in Washington, D.C.
“The conference was an opportunity to discuss my research, to explore different perspectives, and to make new professional connections,” commented Catrambone.
The University of New Haven presenters received well-deserved praise. It was a fantastic conference, with students offering questions and constructive comments in and out of panels and sharing valuable internship and career experiences in the field of REEES studies.
“It was an incredible experience,” said Butler. “Hearing from Russian and Ukrainian exiles, as well as attending the highly fascinating research presentations from other students in the field, was super interesting, and I hope I can return next year.”
