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.

Four Tagliatela College of Engineering students were awarded highly competitive NASA CT Space Grant Consortium (CTSGC) fellowships to do space and aerospace related research. Jordan Rippe '22 M.S. received the Student Project Award of $1,000, Alexandra Goriounova '20 received a $5,000 research fellowship, and Leah Lansdowne '20 and Jonathan Stanford '21 received $5,000 scholarships.
"This was a high point for our students who were competing for grants and scholarships among their peers from academic institutions including UConn, Yale, and the University of Hartford and others," said Dequan Xiao, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
NASA CTSGC is a federally mandated grant, internship, and scholarship program that is funded as a part of NASA Education. There are Space Grant Consortia in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. Formed in 1991 by Trinity College, the University of Connecticut, and the University of New Haven with the University of Hartford as the lead institution, CTSGC encourages broader involvement in NASA research programs.
In October, Tagliatela College of Engineering faculty, the Dean’s office, and the University’s American Chemical Society Student Chapter organized "Chemistry and Space Science," a forum held at the Orange Campus. It featured more than 40 student and faculty participants, including two keynote speakers from Yale, four University faculty speakers, and one Wesleyan postdoctoral speaker. "The forum stimulated students’ interest to think about frontier scientific and engineering problems related to NASA’s missions," Xiao said.
"The trend of increasing participation and competitiveness of Tagliatela College of Engineering’s students for the NASA CTSGC grants results from the relentless pursuit of research and education in engineering and applied science at the Tagliatela College of Engineering. This certainly benefits students in their career development." Dequan Xiao, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
