The West Haven area has received a significant snowfall with 16 inches of snow already on the ground. Due to this and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place: All in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026 will transition to being held online or remotely..
Campus operations for residential students will be modified based on expected conditions. Separate messages will be sent from various offices and departments regarding changes to normal hours of operation. Current students, faculty, and staff can find the latest information about operations on myCharger (login required).
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.
Residential students should be prepared to move their vehicles, if requested, for snow removal operations. If you are parked on a public street in West Haven, please move your vehicle off-street as a snow parking ban has been issued prohibiting vehicles from parking on all public streets. A list of off-street parking lots can be found on the City of West Haven’s website.

In a message to the University community, President Kaplan condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
February 24, 2022
Dear Members of the University Community,
As a University community, we denounce all acts of violence and intimidation, and join leaders and people just like us from across the world in condemning in the strongest terms the unprovoked and unjustified attack that Russia has launched against Ukraine. The actions of Russia are an assault on democracy and an attack on the values we hold dear.
No members of our University community are currently in Ukraine. We are in the process of connecting with those within our community who may be affected to offer support and any resources we might be able to provide. We will also continue to closely monitor our students who are studying abroad to ensure their safety.
As educated and engaged individuals, it is critical that we are aware of and understand world affairs and their widespread impact across the globe. I encourage you to stay informed and to take part in the programs and events taking place across the University that are created to cultivate conversation and foster understanding.
Above all, we stand with the people of Ukraine, and allies from across the globe, as they steadfastly resist invasion, fight for their freedom, and bravely face the dangers of this unthinkable tragedy.
With best wishes,
Steven H Kaplan, Ph.D.
President
