Stephen A. Schwarzman grew up in suburban Pennsylvania and was the only student from his public high school to attend Yale. Fifty-plus years later his $162.8 million gift enabled the creation of Yale Schwarzman Center, a multipurpose cultural, hospitality, and wellness hub.
Under the visionary leadership of Executive Director Rachel Fine, the Center has – in a short time - made a profound impact on the university and the New Haven community thanks to its eclectic calendar of free performances and events, featuring students and professional artists from all over the world.
