Open to all students and any previous alumni! Come join us as we continue to build the legend Mrs. D started.

Roene DiFiore, affectionately know as “Mrs. D” by her students, started the Program Bureau in the fall of 1967, leading a small group of students. Know as “The Dixie Dozen,” they traveled around the region and performed as musical ambassadors for the college. The program grew increasingly popular, attracting thousands of participants over the next roughly 20 years of its heyday. DiFiore passed away in 1990, but her legacy lives on as her singers, also called “Roene’s Kids,” have continued to pass on their love of music to their own children and grandchildren.

“The Program Bureau was something that made you connected across the campus,” John Bowler, UT Director of Alumni Relations said. “It was cohesive. It was something we all shared. It produced something that was meaningful and made you feel like you belonged.”
