GREENVILLE, S.C. — Rose Marie Swillum of Cornell has been named to Bob Jones University’s University Singers, BJU’s largest choral organization. 

Swillum is a freshman at BJU, majoring in music. During the fall 2024 semester at Bay College, she made the dean’s List.

All students at BJU are welcome to audition for choirs and are placed in a choral group according to their classification and abilities. Singers are re-auditioned periodically to determine proper placement.

The choral program at BJU is a developmental program comprised of graded choirs. Performances include concerts of standard choral literature, sacred service music, and the annual opera and oratorio performances. Each participant will have the opportunity to learn to use music for the service of God and to reach their individual technical and artistic choral potential within a program that strives for the highest level of musical excellence, according to a news release from BJU.

The University Singers will perform at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in Stratton Hall on BJU campus.
