WELCOME TO YANKTON COLLEGE ON-LINE

 

Y. C. Alumni

Yankton College was the first institution of higher learning in Dakota Territory, founded in 1881 by Rev. Dr. Joseph Ward. Although the college closed in 1984, it is cherished in the memories of its alumni and Yankton College, a non-profit organization remains active in alumni outreach, awarding scholarships, supporting educational opportunities and sponsoring fine arts and cultural events.  Alumni are pictured here at the Yankton College 2010 All-Class Reunion, held every even year in Yankton, South Dakota.
