CIA Athletics: Soccer
Though CIA did not join an intercollegiate conference until 2004, the college’s athletics program did include a soccer team that dates back to the mid-1970s. The team won the conference championship in 2006 and 2007.
As of Fall 2023, CIA competes for the Scholar-Athlete Champions Cup, a season-long competition between Webb Institute and Cooper Union. In addition, CIA competes annually in the Campbell Cup, with the winner taking home a trophy named in honor of John Campbell, who served as Associate Dean of Student Activities and Recreation at CIA for nearly 30 years.
The CIA Steels also compete against colleges throughout the Tri-State Area, including but not limited to The New School, Vaughn College, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and Dutchess Community College.
