Distinguished Alumna/Alumnus Award,
to Ingrida Karlsons Miemis ’66, Therese
Sullivan Caccavale ’75 and Richard
Pollack ’77 during the Alumni Reunion
Weekend luncheon in Corey Union on

Ingrida Karlsons Miemis ’66
Ingrida Karlsons Miemis ’66, a retired
physical education teacher living in Westport, N.Y., established two children’s
summer camps in her native Latvia more
than a decade ago.
Today, each camp serves nearly 300
campers and staff in the Baltic nation.
More than 6,000 young campers from
a cross section of Latvian society have
benefited from the experience.
Latvia’s Ministry of Education and the
City of Ventspils, Latvia, honored Miemis
for her efforts in 2001 with commendations. The American Latvian Association
of Rockville, Md., Latvian Lutheran
Church and Latvian Lutheran Church
of New York have presented her with
service awards.
Born in Riga, Latvia, Miemis lived in
refugee camps in northern Germany
from infancy until her family immigrated
to the U.S. in 1950 when she was six.
She was educated in the Bronx (N.Y.)
High School of Science.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in
Physical Education at SUNY Cortland
and a Master of Science from Lehman
College in Bronx, N.Y.
“(Emilio) “Dee” DaBramo ’48 hired

College to Honor Distinguished Alumni During Alumni Reunion Weekend
Continued from page 1
were all encouraged to try new things and take
new directions. I was fortunate to be able to
teach at all academic levels in the same school
district during my 36-year career.”
A longtime volunteer and fund-raiser for the
Latvian Lutheran Church’s summer children’s
camp, she decided to redirect part of her efforts.
“After visiting Latvia in 1990, I found my path:
to help the children of this devastated country,”
Miemis said. “One quarter of the children are
orphaned, disabled or from residential schools
and have no place to go for the summer months.
What a joy to see an orphan make friends with
kids he would have never met. The needy get to
see parts of their country they have never seen
before. It has been very rewarding to see my
project grow. My hope is that I will be able to have
a camp in every one of Latvia’s four provinces.”
She organized the first camp in 1992 from her
own funds.
“I recruited a teacher in Latvia and any and all
friends who would listen to what I had to say. We
had 90 children and a skeleton staff. I brought
Latvian American children from the U.S., as well
as a few staff members, all volunteers paying
their own way. It was a success.”
In subsequent years, Miemis was able to
involve the Latvian American community in her
cause and currently spends several months a
year lining up sponsors for the needy and finding
volunteers to help run the camps. Every summer
at her own expense, she travels to camp and
shares her knowledge of camping by organizing
staff seminars and training sessions.
Her former classmates and colleagues noted
her outstanding contributions during her career.
“In the 1970s, special education in most
districts was a neglected area,” said Calvert
Schlick, Jr., formerly assistant superintendent
for instructional services for the Mamaroneck
Schools. “In Mamaroneck it was a centerpiece
and ‘Iggy’ was in the center.”

A former colleague for more than 35 years,
Kenneth Demas credits Miemis with helping
launch a long list of programs through her
commitment, leadership and active involvement.
These included special education outdoor education overnights at Holiday Hill, the high school
outdoor education curriculum, the middle school
aquatics program, staff lifeguard and CPR training,
the middle school outdoor education overnight
experience, and the middle school human sexuality
program.
At SUNY Cortland, Miemis was listed among
Who’s Who Among Students in American
Colleges and Universities. She served as the
Hilltop business manager, Appellate Court chair,
a member of the Women’s Student Government
Association, captain and treasurer of the
Rockettes, a resident assistant in the Alpha
Sigma sorority and a member of the Folk Dance
Club and Women’s Athletic Association.
Miemis was given a lifetime membership to
the Parent Teacher Association of New York State
in 1984. She retired from the Mamaroneck
District in 2001 as a physical and sex education
teacher at Hommocks Middle School. Currently,
in addition to directing and fund raising for the
Latvian and Latvian American children’s camps,
she serves on the Latvian Ladies Aid Society.
She and her husband, Juris, have three
children, Inga, Kristaps and Karl.
Therese Sullivan Caccavale ’75
Therese Sullivan Caccavale ’75 of Hopedale,
Mass., currently coordinates a highly innovative
kindergarten through 12th grade language and
French immersion program in the public schools
of Holliston, Mass.
In 2002, the government of France honored
her with a medal that makes her a Knight in the
Order of Academic Palms, or Chevalier des
Palmes Academiques, a distinguished order
founded by Napoleon Bonaparte. Caccavale was
recognized for her efforts to promote the French
language and culture in the U.S.
She is primarily noted for her groundbreaking
work as founder and director of the French
immersion program, now 26 years old, where
children are committed to take French language
classes from kindergarten through the 12th
grade. By the third grade, the students who enroll
in the program are taking half their classes in
French and half in English. Middle schoolers travel
as a class to Canada and, in the eighth grade, to
Paris, with full fluency as the ultimate goal.
“The high esteem in which Therese Caccavale
is held by both political and academic figures
alike is evident,” said Hazel Cramer, professor
emerita of international communications and culture and a SUNY distinguished teaching professor.
“She routinely meets and discusses educational
policy, needs and practice with the Ambassadors
of France representatives.”
For years Caccavale has taught a summer
institute for Stephen Sadow, professor and acting
chair of the Department of Modern Languages at
Northeastern University in Boston.
“After many years, her program remains a
showpiece,” Sadow said. “I continue to send my
students to observe it. She has kept a class of
teachers spellbound with anecdotes, techniques
and videos of how to get foreign languages in the
elementary school program started and how to
keep them going. She is a figure of national
stature, recognized in the U.S. and in Canada as
an expert in language immersion for young children.”
Caccavale’s career was inspired in a class
taught entirely in French by Catherine Porter
Lewis, professor emerita of international communications and culture. Lewis was also honored by
France with a Chevalier des Palmes Academiques.
Caccavale also credits Cramer with steering her
to observe a French immersion program at SUNY
Plattsburgh before embarking on a teaching year
at Lycée Victor Hugo, Besançon, France in Fall
1978 under a Fulbright Scholarship.
“I love to remember something once said by
the great emperor, Charlemagne,” Caccavale said.
“’He who speaks two languages has two souls.’
My career has been a constant source of growth
and fulfillment. I can only hope that the path I
have chosen and the dreams I have fulfilled will
someday inspire others to follow and develop
their own ‘second soul.’”
Born in San Antonio, Texas, Caccavale graduated from Elmira Free Academy in Elmira, N.Y.,
having already fallen in love with French language
and culture as a junior during a summer in Tours,
France. She earned a dual degree in elementary
education and French at SUNY Cortland, during
which time she took part in the Junior Year Abroad
Program in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Caccavale
received a Master of Arts in French from
Middlebury College in Vermont. She also has
a Diplome d’Etudes Approfondies from the
Université de Besançon, France.
In 2006, Caccavale will assume the presidency
of the National Network for Early Language
learning, the leading national organization for
foreign language instruction in early grades in
the U.S. She also served on the board of the

Massachusetts Foreign Language Association.
As an adjunct professor at Boston University in
Spring 2004, she worked with young teachers to
develop their professional licensure portfolio. She
is pursuing a doctorate in language, literacy and
cultural studies at Boston University.
Caccavale visited campus last December to
deliver the keynote address at the 14th Annual
Teachers in Training Foreign Language Conference.
For her contributions to teaching the language
and cross-cultural understanding, she was
inducted as an honorary member into SUNY
Cortland’s chapter of the national French honorary
society, Pi Delta Phi, in April. The chapter of this
almost 100-year-old honor society was formed at
SUNY Cortland two years after she had graduated.
She and her husband, Frank, have three sons,
Samuel, Brian and Peter.
Richard Pollack ’77
Richard Pollack ’77 of Arlington, Va., has
served since 1991 as the executive vice president
of the American Hospital Association (AHA). He
represents nearly 5,000 community-based organizations that employ more than four million
people and provide essential 24-hour health care
services year-round.
As the chief lobbyist for the organization since
1991, he is responsible for managing the associ-
ation’s activities in the areas of legislation, regulatory affairs, executive branch relations, legal
advocacy, media relations, public policy analysis,
development, grassroots advocacy networks and
political action committee.
“It is both a significant responsibility and
unique platform from which to make a positive
contribution toward the improvement of health
care in this nation,” Pollack said.
His initiatives on behalf of the AHA have
included extending coverage to the uninsured,
improving quality of care and enhancing patient
safety, ensuring that hospitals are better prepared
for emergencies particularly in the aftermath of
Sept. 11, and working to ensure that the federal
government makes the necessary resources
available to care for the country’s most vulnerable
citizens served through Medicare and Medicaid.
In Spring 2005, The Hill, a newspaper serving
Capitol Hill, included Pollack on its list of 25 Top
Rainmakers in Washington, D.C., in particular for
his work on behalf of the hospital lobby to secure
payment hikes for rural hospitals as part of the
most recent Medicare legislation.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Pollack was educated
in Sheepshead Bay High School. Pollack received
a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from SUNY
Cortland and a Master of Public Administration
from American University.
“Cortland gave me a solid foundation for my
future by reinforcing fundamental values, providing
lifelong friends and preparing me for a career
where I was fortunate enough to make my interests
and hobbies my work,” Pollack said. “While a
formal liberal arts education contributed to that
foundation, it was the political science internships
in county government, along with a series of
extra-curricular activities, that provided the
practical experience to be successful in government and politics at the federal level.”
As an undergraduate, Pollack made a critical
political connection when he was selected as one
of SUNY Cortland’s representatives to participate
in the SUNY Washington Semester Program.
“After interning for Congressman David Obey
of Wisconsin through the program, I was hired
as one of his legislative assistants. My entry into
the health care field began when I became a
legislative assistant, or lobbyist, for the American
Nurses Association. In 1982, I joined the advocacy
team of the American Hospital Association,
where I served first as a staff lobbyist and then
as vice president and deputy director of its
Washington Office.”
He is married to Diane Pollack. They have
two children, Megan and Daniel.
