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.

A best-selling author who has been called the "Dean of American Public Relations Executives," Robert L. Dilenschneider '12 Hon., who visited campus as part of the University's longest-running lecture series, advised students on how to make decisions about their futures.
April 18, 2019
Students at the University of New Haven were reminded today of how to make decisions about their futures by Robert L. Dilenschneider '12 Hon., who is President of The Dilenschneider Group, a global corporate strategic counseling firm, and one of the nation’s most respected communications advisers.
Mr. Dilenschneider said this is a critical time for students at colleges and universities across the country as they approach their first post-college jobs and begin to put the knowledge they’ve acquired to the test of practical experience.
"The future of the United States and even the world rests on your shoulders," Mr. Dilenschneider said. "So you need to make the right choices for yourself and your country," he said.
Drawing on his more than 50 years in the business world, he gave the students three critical pieces of advice on how to handle the personal decision-making process:
Mr. Dilenschneider pointed that one of the worst decisions people can make is to avoid decision-making – to be "ditherers." He added that one can learn by looking at some of the "famous ditherers" like Hamlet and the character Benjamin played by Dustin Hoffman in the movie "The Graduate."
"Keep the decisions you need to make in perspective. Once you have decided and taken action, never look back."Robert L. Dilenschneider
Again drawing on the life-lessons his own experiences have taught him, Mr. Dilenschneider offered the students a series of suggestions on how to make critical choices, including "keep the decisions you need to make in perspective" and "once you have decided and taken action, never look back."
Mr. Dilenschneider is the author of the forthcoming book, "Decisions" that features 23 historical figures and how they made their decisions. He spoke at the University as part of the Bartels Lecture Series, the University's longest-running guest speaker series established 30 years ago by University benefactors Henry E. and Nancy H. Bartels. The program is designed to broaden the educational experience of graduate and undergraduate students by bringing leaders in business and public service on the national and international scene to the campus.
