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.

The University of New Haven, the nationally ranked private, coeducational university on the southern coast of New England, announces its 27th Annual Arnold Markle Symposium, sponsored by The Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science, which will be held in Bucknall Theater, Dodds Hall, at the University of New Haven on October 22 through October 23.
The two-day program delves into a discussion of the investigation of drug-related deaths around the world. Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world's foremost forensic scientists, founder of The Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, and chaired professor in the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences, which is co-sponsoring the event, will lead the discussion on the investigation of drug-related deaths as well as well as provide evidence and interpretation.
The symposium will address current deadly drug trends, including opioids, fentanyl, and heroin. It will delve into a timely discussion about drug-related death investigations, challenges faced today, and possible solutions. A special panel will close the symposium and will include the stories of families who have lost loved ones to the drug epidemic.
Each year, the Arnold Markle Symposium brings together nationally recognized experts in law enforcement, forensic science, and the medical and legal professions to create a dialogue and work toward change in those fields.
It is named after former State’s Attorney and adjunct faculty Arnold Markle, who was the State’s Attorney for the Judicial District of New Haven and an adjunct faculty from 1968 until his untimely death in 1987. Markle, a native of New Haven, was known for his feisty nature and his skill as a prosecutor. He strongly believed that training and continuing education were important for police officers and for all members of the criminal justice system.
The cost for the two days is $189.00 per person, and a special rate of $99.00 for students. More information and a registration link can be found at henryleeinstitute.com.
