Why I Give
Amy Batterman-Ditchek '79, P'13, P'15
Current Position:
Dermatologist
Current Location:
Brooklyn, N.Y.
“I fell in love with HWS as a high school senior. The campus is beautiful as it overlooks Seneca Lake. I received an early acceptance to N.Y. Medical College, making my dreams of becoming a physician come true. I now practice dermatology in Brooklyn, N.Y. My oldest daughter Rebecca '13 graduated from Hofstra Law School and recently passed the Bar. My daughter Lisa '15 is a student at Upstate Medical School. I have been the William Smith Class of 1979 correspondent for several years, and I was fortunate to travel with Professor of Religious Studies Michael Dobkowski through Berlin and Poland on the March of Remembrance. I give because HWS makes dreams come true!”
