Here you’ll see Arven, Nemona, and a person who goes by Cassiopeia, all of who eventually give you quests to follow. Once this introduction wraps up, Jaqc will give you a call and let you know about a new program the school is hosting. Return to the academy and talk to the woman Briar inside near the entrance.
