Message from Joan Chair of the Board of Trustees
Dear friends, we use words in so many ways – to inform, to query, to persuade, to enrage – and more! This list is comprised of words, all of
which point to a single thing. See what you think – release, renew, revitalize, rethink, research, re-charge, remember, react, retie, reserve, resonate, relent, receive, relive, recapture, restore, revel, rededicate, recreate, refill, reciprocate, referee, resolve, reiterate, refuel, recite, recall – REUNION! REMEMBER! REACT! It is almost upon us – Reunion 2016, July 21, 22 and 23. If you have not RESERVED, send in your form or go to the website now. Don’t be RECALCITRANT. ~ Joan

NEW SCHOLARSHIP - IN MEMORY OF TEDDY This 2016 Y-Club scholarship is granted by the Yankton College Hawaiian family in memory of their friend and YC classmate Teddy Adolpho Mina. Teddy was raised in Honolulu and the embodiment of the Aloha spirit. He won a spot on the YC basketball cheerleading squad to “put life into it” and landed on the team. He also lettered in tennis. Mina was destined for a life of service which moved him to study Theology at Yankton College.

The Yankton College Alumni & Educational Center will be housed in the Mead Cultural Center in Yankton, South Dakota. A preliminary agreement has been reached with the Yankton County Historical Society whereby Yankton College will “occupy” approximately 3,200 sq. ft. of space for exhibits, research, archives and collections. Easily accessible by an elevator, with a private en-trance, Yankton College will have a space all of its own before 2024.
