VATS assists student veterans, families transitioning to higher education

Sun, 05/07/2023 - 5:00am

Veterans who return home from the military face unexpected challenges as they try to reintegrate into civilian living. Military members and their families frequently relocate due to service, and these frequent moves can make it difficult for veterans to establish a routine once they settle into a new place and begin to consider their future.

“You also get more of an idea of how much [Calpurnia’s] been a surrogate mother to Jem and Scout. Scout was only two when their mother passed,” Jacqueline Williams said.

The Broadway adaptation of “To Kill A Mockingbird” simultaneously honors and updates Harper Lee’s classic American novel about justice and racism in the South. Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of the story follows the familiar original narrative, but utilizes Scout’s youthful inquisitiveness to ask the important questions about the society in which they live. As Sorkin said in an interview in The Atlantic, the characters are “not getting repainted. We’re just taking another look, given the times we’re living in.”
