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 institute, which will be part of the Tagliatela College of Engineering, will foster collaboration and interdisciplinary research across the University, effectively incorporating critical knowledge in cybersecurity, computing, data science, and AI across all programs.
May 21, 2020
The University of New Haven announced today it is launching the Connecticut Institute of Technology (Connecticut Tech) as part of a university-wide effort to bring together some of its most cutting-edge disciplines to create a technology hub that fosters interdisciplinary exploration and innovation.
"Our goal is to reinforce our standing as a destination university for technology education and research in the northeast," said President Steven H. Kaplan. "Groundbreaking efforts like this are critical to preparing our students for careers of the future that haven't yet been envisioned. We pride ourselves as a university on being forward-thinking and market-driven, and I am enormously optimistic, excited and proud that the University of New Haven will be leading this effort."
Connecticut Tech will be comprised of the university's undergraduate and graduate programs in cybersecurity and networks, computer science, data science, and electrical and computer engineering, as well as several research groups. The mission is to foster a technology hub that features an intense focus on applied learning and research.
Over the last few years, the university's cybersecurity and networks program has gained significant national visibility under the leadership of Ibrahim (Abe) Baggili, Elder Family Chair and an internationally recognized expert in cybersecurity, who was appointed director of the Institute.
In 2019, the National Security Agency recognized the university as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations, a designation earned by only 21 universities in the country. The university also received a $4 million Scholarship for Service grant from the National Science Foundation to help prepare cybersecurity professionals for federal, state, and tribal government agencies.

"Through Connecticut Tech, we are planting a flag that signals we will be the tech and education hub for the state of Connecticut," says Baggili. "We are going to play a pivotal role in stimulating the state's economy, and, beyond that, generating the highest quality students and research in the areas of cybersecurity, computing, and AI.
"We will be catalyzing a new breed of education in Connecticut that fosters technology-enabled innovation and, as always, produces graduates in areas that are in high-demand," Baggili added.
The Institute will foster collaboration and interdisciplinary research across all colleges and schools at the university by incorporating cybersecurity, computing, data science, and AI into non-engineering programs.
"Inclusion of these technologies across all curricula is essential today, when issues of cybersecurity and data breaches are impacting multiple industries and businesses," said Baggili. "Whether it's bank transactions, stock trades, manufacturing data, medical records, criminal records, forensic evidence, scientific data, or retail transactions, it all needs to be secure."
Ron Harichandran, dean of the Tagliatela College of Engineering and vice provost of research, said the reputation of the university's program in cybersecurity, data, and electrical and computer engineering ensures that the Institute will make an immediate impact.
"Launching the Connecticut Institute of Technology will unite the strengths within the Tagliatela College of Engineering and serve as a technology focal point at the university," he said.
