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.

Lorenzo M. Boyd, Ph.D. to become associate professor of criminal justice as well as director of the Center for Advanced Policing at the University of New Haven.
November 13, 2018
The University of New Haven announced today that Lorenzo M. Boyd, Ph.D., a nationally-recognized expert on police-community relations, will join the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences as associate professor of criminal justice and director of the Center for Advanced Policing at the University.
Dr. Boyd’s service as a former deputy sheriff in Boston informed his nearly 20-year career in higher education, where his teaching, training, and research focused on urban policing, race and crime, criminal justice systems, diversity issues, and criminological theory.
During eight years as the primary advisor and consultant for the Fayetteville, North Carolina Police Department, Dr. Boyd led efforts to build a community wellness plan for the city. As a senior researcher at the North Carolina Juvenile Justice Institute at North Carolina Central University, he conducted program evaluations on local community-based juvenile justice intervention programs.
Dr. Boyd has appeared on local, regional, and national media outlets to discuss policing in the aftermath of high-profile cases, including shootings in Dallas, Baton Rouge, and Ferguson, Missouri. This spring, he led a study addressing issues of racism, bias, and police and community relations at Yale University after a white graduate student called the police to report a black graduate student who was asleep in a common room.
A former chair of the Departments of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Dr. Boyd is also the former president of the Academy of Criminal Justice Science and a life member of the National Organization for Blacks in Law Enforcement. He earned his doctorate from Northeastern University. He also holds a master’s degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts.
