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!

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
As an English major, there are a couple of classes that are needed to be completed before you graduate. Two of these classes have to do with literary histories, such as English 001, which looks at literature up to the 17th century. English 002 looks at literature from the mid-17th century to the 19th century. Finally, English 003 looks at literature from the 20th century to the present.
For this term, I decided to finish this requirement by getting my second literary history course, English 001. To be completely honest, my main goal in completing this class was to get the major requirement, not necessarily because I was super excited about the course material. Don't get me wrong, all the classes I have taken at Dartmouth are always interesting, but sometimes I choose a class because it can help fulfill a major requirement or distributive.
The class looks at various literature from this time period, looking at themes, modes, genres, and character archetypes. We have read parts of The Canterbury Tales, tales from the Matter of Britain, as well as various poetry. It has surprisingly become one of my favorite classes ever, with a great professor whose excitement for the topics makes us students more excited to learn.
I think this happens a lot at Dartmouth. A lot of students go into a class, perhaps in a topic or department, they are not usually interested in, and fall in love with the class or subject. Some people, like myself, even change their majors(I came to Dartmouth as a Government major, and now I am a History and English major!) College is all about trying new things and finding what you are passionate about. So whether you come to Dartmouth or not, try a class in a subject that you don't know much about. You might just fall in love with it!
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.
This is part two of me "nerding out" about my honors thesis! If you want to learn more about independent projects, theses, or the humanities at Dartmouth, check it out!
Many small classes at Dartmouth are seminar-style and are the cornerstone of the intellectual exploration and intentionality that define the learning experience at Dartmouth.
I've officially completed all of my English major requirements for Dartmouth. Since I'm now a veteran English student, I'll walk you all through one of Dartmouth's coolest departments!
