Yankton College "...no longer exists. But it's not fully dead either."

Alia Wong, staff writer for The Atlantic covering education and families authored an interesting article posted June 12, 2019, "The College That Became a Prison: Yankton College no longer exists. But it’s not fully dead either." 

Yankton College closed in 1984 and the campus has since been acquired by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The Yankton College alumni and friends have been active over the years and it is nice to see Wong provide them with recognition through her article for maintaining the legacy of the institution.
