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!

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
The spring term of my junior year has finally arrived! The weather has warmed up, so now I am delighted to be wearing shorts and sweatshirts outside, instead of my heavy coat and boots (however, there have been some cold days where the coat is needed). And for the first time since my sophomore fall, instead of taking three courses—apart from sophomore summer, where I traded one course slot for research in the English department—I am not taking any classes! I am taking my first off term, where I am doing a research fellowship through the Leslie Center for Humanities. In this term, I will be working on an interconnected short story collection set in an evangelical youth group. I am working with Professor Vievee Francis on this project, and I am really excited to focus entirely on it this term.

Since I am working on a fellowship and not taking classes, that makes my schedule more flexible, so I'm making an emphasis on getting closer to my friends who are on campus, as well as investing in organizations I am a part of. Just this weekend, I was able to play spike ball on the green for the first time in almost a year with some of my friends. It was a blast, but I realized that playing shoeless wasn't the best idea, as my feet got really cold!
I will be helping out with my fraternity as the diversity and inclusivity chair this year, and so this term will have a focus on that as well. I'm excited to help out the best I can in my fraternity and make it better when I leave. Finally, I am going to focus on building up a club I helped started last year called Greek Intervarsity, which is a ministry for those in Greek life. I'm leading a bible study in my fraternity already, and hoping to expand to other houses soon!
I'm really looking forward to this term, not only since I will be writing full time, but also because it will allow me to dive deeper into different communities I am a part of on campus!
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...
Growing up in New England and transitioning to living at Dartmouth, I'm all too familiar with the unpredictability (and beauty) of New England's weather. Let me tell you about it here!
It's not every day that my Intro to Chinese Culture and Understanding the Universe classes were both canceled, but the cosmos had other plans. Welcome to a rare weekday in my life with no classes!
