REUNIONS
Reuniting alumni and friends
“As one gets older . . . it is the fond memories of long ago that means so much to us.”
– Carl I. Youngworth ’19
All-Class Reunions
Yankton College All-Class Reunions are held every two years and are attended by hundreds of alumni from around the nation. Friendships and memories are renewed because Yankton College still remains in the hearts and minds of its alumni and friends.
There are scheduled events that bring alumni together to rekindle friendships or make new ones and relive YC memories! Some of the events include: (Federal Prison Camp) Campus Tour, Greyhound Greats Program, Athletic Hall of Fame Luncheon, Humanities Hall of Honor Luncheon, Achievement Awards Program and Dinner and lots more.
Members of the Alumni Advisory Board, Y-Club and other individuals assist the staff at Yankton College with the event held primarily at the Best Western Kelly Inn in Yankton, South Dakota.
Plan to attend the next Yankton College All-Class Reunion is scheduled July 15, 16 and 17, 2021.
