    George Hiller has served as an adjunct instructor at University of Richmond since 1994, teaching courses at the School of Law, School of Professional and Continuing Studies, and the Robins School of Business. At the Robins School, he teaches Strategic Market Planning in Latin America. This is a project-based experiential learning course in which combined teams of Robins School undergraduates and students from the UR School of Law work with Richmond-area businesses to develop market expansion strategies in Latin America. I also teach a Spanish discussion course linked to Marketing in Latin America, as part of the UR Culture and Language Across Curriculum Program.
