How Cedar Crest College RAs Raise The Tide
As an intern with Swift Kick, I learned about the Core Values and their importance in every-day life.

How “Meh” to “Hmm” Helped Me Feed My Butterflies
This semester, I am currently feeding my butterflies every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. I am taking a ballroom dancing class at my university, having no experience whatsoever with formal dancing in the past (unless you count the wobble, stanky leg, dougie, and whip/nay-nay as formal dance moves.)

How the Swift Kick Team Made the Company Values Picture Perfect
Matt and Nicole did not know what to expect when they entered a near empty office building at 55th and Lexington for their first Quarterly Retreat with Swift Kick.
