Our Future
The Unanimous Results of a 2012 Yankton College Alumni Survey – “To Keep the Face of Yankton College observable.”
Yankton College alumni can be proud of the legacy of Yankton College that continues to offer academic scholarships and support the liberal arts through sponsored activities despite its closing in 1984. The college is embarking on a new venture: the establishment of the Joseph and Sarah Wood Ward Alumni & Educational Center of Yankton College in partnership with the Dakota Territorial Museum at the historic Mead building located at the north end of Yankton.



Even now, we are not willing to allow the legacy which is Yankton College to perish, as we mortals must. We have banded together and committed to one another that we will establish a legacy whereby Yankton College will outlive us and our followers. And that legacy is the Joseph and Sarah Wood Ward Alumni & Educational Center of Yankton College which is now housed on the third floor of the Mead Cultural Education Center in Yankton, South Dakota.

College Story
To properly tell the Yankton College story, a photographic timeline greets visitors when arriving at the Joseph & Sarah Ward Alumni & Educational Center of Yankton College on the 3rd floor of the Mead Museum. The display takes our visitors on a brief journey of the 103 year history of the college. The 4 Galleries and 2 conference rooms showcase Yankton College memorabilia on permanent and rotating display in museum quality display cases at the Joseph and Sarah Wood Ward Alumni & Education Center of Yankton College.
