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!

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
Encountering Faith and Reason with Other Dartmouth Students!
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Veritas Conference in Boston, which turned out to be the highlight of my term. The conference was associated with the Augustine Collective, which is a collective of Christian thought journals at various universities worldwide, such as the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Oxford, UPenn, University of Virginia, and more. The conference sought to allow students from various journals to interact and discuss their respective journals with other schools, especially in the form of breakout groups we had. Not only that, but we heard from leaders in academic fields on different topics, such as medieval Christianity and the university, or on whether Christianity is good for the scientific university.
'05 Author Phil Klay interviewed by an '11!
I went as a part of Dartmouth's Christian thought journal. Dartmouth's journal is the
Dartmouth Apologia, which is actually the oldest continuously running journal in the collective. I have been a part of the journal since freshman year, but my sophomore year is when I decided to write for it. I have really appreciated my experiences with the journal as well as with the people affiliated with it, as it has helped me navigate my faith in a logical way, pushing me to discover what I believe in and why I believe it. I recently wrote an article on call-out culture and compared it to a chapter in the book of Psalms, and my friend wrote an article about the benefits of reading heretical literature.
Well, is Christianity good for the university in crisis?
The conference was really exciting. The dozen or so Dartmouth students had a blast hearing from the speakers (which included a couple of Dartmouth alums, such as Phil Klay '05). These talks helped enrich my understanding of Christianity's interaction with education and reason, and also helped us strengthen our journals in various ways. It was also so cool to meet with other members of the journals, especially seeing the different goals and articles they had. And by the end of the weekend, I felt I had a good idea of not only what my next article will look like, but also how to make our own journal even better. Not only that, but our journal took home the prize for Best Design!
Best Design goes to Dartmouth!
This club has been one close to my heart at Dartmouth, and this conference just made it closer. My writing, faith, and intellect have all grown through it, and I know that in the remainder of my time at Dartmouth, the growth will simply continue!
On Monday, April 8, 2024, a phenomenal total solar eclipse occurred — and we happened to be within the path of totality. As a result, Dartmouth hosted a variety of eclipse-related events on- and off-campus. Find out how I spent the eclipse!
