You make your way across the Quad, a sprawling green space at the heart of Faulkner University. Walking past students lounging on benches or sprawled out on blankets while squirrels dart among the tree branches overhead, you soon arrive at the Student Commons.
Standing in stark contrast to the historic buildings with red-brick facades set amidst towering oak trees, the Student Commons is a modern, bustling space where students gather to socialize, study, and unwind between classes.
Someone urgently calls your name from behind you, “Dr. Newson?”
You turn to find Sara Johnson beckoning you to join her at her table in the campus café. She has two small cups with her, and the inviting scent of coffee permeates the air.
“Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me,” she says eagerly, “We’ve got a lot to talk about.”
What do you want to discuss?
