Hi guys! The name's Tulio (yes, like the guy from Rio) Huggins, and I am a '23! I am from the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, where I have lived for the past couple of years. I am double majoring in History and English with a concentration in Creative Writing. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends at Dartmouth Apologia, my fraternity, and in Aquinas House! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I hope that you all have a blessed day!

History & English with Concentration in Creative Writing
Favorite Thing Right Now
Hanging out with my fraternity brothers and hanging out in Aquinas House!
This history class is dedicated to investigating the history behind current events. In this term, we looked at the history behind immigration, Silicon Valley, and affirmative action. And in the final weeks of the term, we were able to choose what we wanted to learn about, and we chose to look at the history of impeachment. It is a very cool class with great class discussions. I would highly recommend!
COSC 1 is an intro to Computer Science course. I had never taken a CS course, so learning the new Python language was definitely tough! Even so, I learned so much about how to code, and the help provided by TAs and the professors is invaluable in this course!
This was the first class I ever took in the African and African American Studies and Religion Department. It opened my eyes to the various ways African Americans in the Jim Crow era survived when the world was stacked up against them. I would highly recommend!
An interesting class where we focused on the spread of literature during this time period. Also one of my smallest classes; only five other classmates!
This class was a creative writing class, and it gave me a lot of insight into what I as an author should want my readers to do when they confront the piece. It was an amazing class, and it was so cool to be able to take it in London!
My desire to learn about religion and history was thoroughly fulfilled in this class, where we looked at the various Christian conversions in different European areas. I learned a lot, and I really loved the prof's lectures!
SpringOn-Campus
I'm not taking any classes this term! Instead, I am doing a fellowship through the Leslie Center for Humanities, where I am writing an interconnected short story collection set in an evangelical church youth group.
This was my senior seminar for my history class, and we learned about the many Native American treaties that occurred for the centuries of US-Indigenous interaction
My favorite spots on campus tend to be in one of the many libraries at Dartmouth. Every single one of them tends to have different vibes, and each provides something special for the academic scholars that enter. Because of this, I think it would be fun to have a blog post specifically for each library that I frequent.
The first one is the most iconic one, Baker Library. Technically part of a duplex system called Baker-Berry Library, the older and more iconic section of this binary is what you usually see in Dartmouth pictures. You will often see people standing on its lawn to take great pictures, whether for commitments to Dartmouth, tours, or even engagements! Built in 1928, this Library holds many beautiful paintings and rooms. One cool room is the Orozco Mural Room, located in the basement of Baker. The mural The Epic of American Civilization was painted in the early 20th century by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco and depicts various stages of the Americas before and after European colonization. The mural was designated a National Landmark in 2013, which I think is extremely cool. I can do my English homework right next to a national treasure!
Baker at Dawn!
Another great room in Baker is the Tower Room. The room is one of the places at Dartmouth that make me feel like I am truly an academic, surrounded by a vast sea of knowledge. The room is very antique, with old books filling the room, and many windows facing the Green. It recently opened back up, and I've gone in a couple of times! There is also an interesting statue of a Native American facing the light, and a big portrait of William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, whom our College is named after.
If you have a chance to go to Dartmouth—which I hope you are able to—Baker Library is a great place to really see the vibe of Dartmouth. It is a place of academic excellence and wonder!
As I approach the halfway mark of my Dartmouth journey this spring, I find myself reflecting on the significance of distributive and world culture requirements in shaping my academic experience.
Witnessing an eclipse was one of the most exciting days in my life to date, and a solid reminder of our place in this universe. Read on to hear about it!

Coming back from Spring break usually means coming back to an entirely different campus than the one you left in the Winter – but that was not the case this year! Read on to hear more...
This is my final term before senior year, which is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. One thing I am excited about is the classes I am taking this term, so let me tell you more!
