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!
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
I love music, but I did not think my life at Dartmouth would have a lot of musical memories attached to it. Coming here, I realized there are many opportunities to experience music, both through campus events and individual members of the community.
One way is through the various acapella groups on campus. Dartmouth's many acapella groups have different identities, such as the Dartmouth Aires, one of the oldest all-male a cappella groups among universities, to the Dartmouth Rockapellas, whose songs often focus on social issues. There is often at least one show a week, often paired with a dance group for a lovely night of fun! I have many of my friends in different groups, and it is always fun to cheer them on, especially when they have solos.
Me, Green Key ready!
Along with acapella shows, Dartmouth sometimes brings in singers for events across the year. Some are during the big weekends on campus, such as Green Key, where we have had artists like Doechii and Ke$ha, but also across the year. I remember going to the Hopkins Center of Performing Arts and seeing Mashrou' Leila, a Lebanese rock band. It was an interesting talk as well, and we learned a lot about the social issues going on in their home country.
I remember hearing Brandon created "Summer on Vensus" in London, and so when he released it it brought me back to our study abroad program!
But I also have encountered music through individuals at Dartmouth. There are multiple people here who write and produce their own music, and it is always fun to hear them! One of my friends Brandon has a band called Summer on Venus, and I remember when we both went abroad to London and heard him perform at various pubs and restaurants. It's a huge passion of his, and he was even able to get grant funding through the music department to write and produce his upcoming album. Before I met my other friend Stavros, he released a song during our freshman year, and I remember starting to listen to his music. Later on, we met each other in person and I eventually got to know him and hear about his journey through music. Eventually, he released an album called Entropia, which included a revamped version of the initial song he made all those years ago!
Throwback to when my friend Stavros got profiled by "The Dartmouth," our College's newspaper!
Music is everywhere on campus, and it is awesome to experience it in various ways!

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...
