The Gift: A multilingual, immersive reading experience at Yale Schwarzman Center

Yale Schwarzman Center invites the community to experience The Gift, an interactive event in which participants gather in a music-filled Commons to explore an all-ages illustrated book inspired by the astrophysics research of Dr. Natalie Gosnell. This unique program, presented in multiple languages—English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, as well as a tactile version accompanied by an English audio description—connects astrophysics research to poignant universal themes of loss, transformation, and renewal.

The event is free and open to the public, taking place on April 17, 2025, from 6:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. in Commons, located within Yale Schwarzman Center. Admission is on a rolling basis, and while the experience is expected to last approximately 15 minutes, readers are invited to engage at their own pace. This program is suitable for all ages, but participants 12 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
