In 2006, the Department recognized his longtime contribution to undergraduate education by establishing the Win Hill Award for the best undergraduate research paper. Win was well known in his field of learning and motivation, publishing 3 books including Learning: a Survey of Psychological Interpretations which went through six editions and was translated into several languages. He was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto, Ca in 1966-1967.

After retirement, Win found a home with Northwestern's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a learning community of people who, like him, enjoyed exploring topics of interest in a setting where participants are leaders and inquiry leads the direction of the course. Win loved history, reading, maps, boats, historic homes, canoeing, travel, riding his bicycle to and from work, and spending time with his family. He was a wonderful storyteller and enjoyed sharing stories with his children and grandchildren. He was a willing participant in his grandchildren's make-believe games.Quiet, kind, gentle and thoughtful, Win was appreciated for his clever sense of humor, curious intellect, and genuine interest in what others brought to the table. He will be missed by all who knew him. Win is survived by his wife, Libby, daughters Alison (Michael) and Linda (David) and his four grandchildren (Roi, Shirah, Rachel and Sarah).
