My name is Andrew Hill and I teach Philosophy and Ethics at St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas, where I have implemented the "Exploring Humanitarian Law" program developed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

In 2024, I was promoted to Professor of Philosophy.

In 2023, I was named President of the San Antonio Chapter of the Fulbright Association.

In 2022, I was named an Inaugural Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence Alumni Host Mentor.

In 2021, I was named an International Faculty Fellow for Curriculum Internationalization for AY 2021-2022.

In 2019, I received the Corazón Award for Faculty Development from the Alamo Colleges for my work with the ICRC.

In 2018, I was named a Fellow by the Global Studies Division of Stanford University for AY 2018-2019.

In 2017, I attended the ICRC Advanced Seminar in International Humanitarian Law for University Lecturers and Researchers, in Geneva, Switzerland.

I have been recognized for teaching a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and law STUDENTS:
• 2018 NISOD Excellence Award, the University of Texas at Austin, for teaching at St. Philip's College
• 2013 NISOD Excellence Award, the University of Texas at Austin, for teaching at Northwest Vista College

I have led teams that have received significant GRANTS:

And I have led teams on international study abroad and service TRIPS:

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Philosophy from St. Mary’s University, and a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of St. Thomas. I earned the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Loyola University School of Law in New Orleans.

I was a Lecturer of Law and Ethics in the Graduate School at St. Mary's University. After five years, I was promoted to Senior Lecturer “in recognition of distinguished teaching service to the University.”
In the summer of 2015, faculty from St. Philip's College and Northwest Vista College led a summer study abroad trip to Northern Ireland, and stayed at the world famous Corrymeela Ballycastle Centre, the oldest and largest peace center in Northern Ireland.
I am part of the team that is developing and implementing the Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP, which is a multi-year project to improve an important aspect of student learning through broad-based involvement and is a requirement of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

For the next five years, St. Philip's College will focus on Ethical Decision–Making.  The topic was chosen by St. Philip’s College constituents: students, faculty, staff, administrators and external advisory committee members as each of these groups gave input to our selected topic. The QEP is a major campus initiative, and has the full support of our President, Dr. Adena Williams Loston.
I have integrated into my courses the Exploring Humanitarian Law Program (EHL) developed by the International Committee of the Red Cross.  The program is described this way:

"The programme is, above all, aiming to deal with ethical and humanitarian issues arising in armed conflicts, and the main education objectives are to develop awareness of the necessity of existence of humanitarian norms, to understand different perspectives and to encourage interest and the feeling of responsibility for local and international events."

My work at St. Philip's College is based on my previous experiences teaching EHL at Northwest Vista College.
