Speaking of which, what do you want CIA community to know about you and your goals? But when it comes to the food and ecosystems of our world, you can’t beat a honeybee! They’re very important to pest control, and wasps even do some pollination of their own. But I don’t want to sound too down on my fellow buzzers. I’d much rather have a honeycombed hive to call my crib than a papery nest. Oh, heck no! First of all, we’re much better-looking. It’s awesome being a part of something that big and that supportive!Īren’t you pretty much the same as wasps and hornets? We’re buzzing around and working together to make the hive thrive, and grads from CIA do the same with their fellow alums in the industry. It’s a very strong network of workers, much like of the dorms-or the CIA alumni network. So much fun! We’re all pretty tight and always helping each other. Ya know, they call pollen “bee bread.” I’m still waiting on a gluten-free option here, Chef Coppedge! I’ve learned from students pumping iron at the Student Rec Center that protein is important. Legend has it that I was actually named by Chef Thomas Keller. You need that rep when your species has “honey” in the name! I’m a complex bee-I can be tough and will do anything to defend my hive (and the CIA), but I’m typically warm and friendly. I got my name because it reflects my tough, competitive side-kinda like some chefs. I can’t tell you how many people ask me, “Didn’t you used to be the lead singer for The Police?” I mean, I get it we’ve both got plenty of charisma and charm. We definitely share the same mission-to make the world a healthier, more delicious place! There’s a special kinship here between faculty, staff, students, and even the honeybees. I also love that the college is so committed to sustainability and healthy eating, just like me. Rosemary and thyme are my favorites-the aromas, not the residence halls! Personally, I can’t get enough of the smell. At colony reunions, we still quote Chef Clark: “Clean dry board, clean dry fish.” That’s always a hive pleaser! We’ve been producing honey on this planet for some 130 million years! While my family hasn’t been at CIA that long, I’ve heard plenty of stories about my relatives buzzing around A Dorm and the Escoffier Restaurant. And a few weeks of R&R at CIA Singapore really connects us to our Asian roots. It’s great to hang with our fellow abejas at the Pearl complex in San Antonio. We adore the gardens at Greystone and Copia. I’m not a big fan of the cold, so it’s great to have winter escapes on the West Coast and in Texas. My family and I really rack up the frequent flyer miles too, ’cause we call all of CIA campuses home. I was born on September 8 during National Honey Month! It was so cool that the Applied Food Studies students built us an apiary right here on the New York campus! So I’m truly a citizen of the world-but my main hive is at CIA. My ancestors were originally from Asia and came to America via Europe. The Steels we know and love are here to stay and we’re happy to have Sting on our team. Sting’s primary duties are to bring energy and enthusiasm to campus events and to keep our fans sharp as they cheer on our CIA Steels athletes at games. We sat down for an exclusive interview with Sting to learn first-hand how this global citizen came to “bee” CIA’s new mascot.
