Quantum BLOOM Goals: 

• Build foundational quantum science literacy among members through peer-led learning sessions (“Bloom Circles”) and a monthly seminar series. 

• Extend quantum literacy beyond campus through public-facing outreach events for the Nashville community and adult learners, fulfilling Meharry’s community-service participation requirement. 

• Establish sustained partnerships with quantum industry companies, national laboratories, and research institutions to create a pipeline of opportunities for members. 

• Secure internship, research, and career pathway opportunities for members through those industry and laboratory partnerships. 

• Provide a platform for graduate scholars to present original and in-progress quantum research, including an annual student research symposium open to industry observers. 

• Strengthen Meharry’s visibility and standing in the emerging quantum workforce field.
