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
As a Dartmouth student, it can be easy to stay in the library all day, or only go off campus if there is something I really need. Thankfully, over this last spring break, I got to venture out of the Hanover area and have a nice time in the beautiful nature of the Upper Valley! This is especially important since my job post-grad is in the area, so it's important to learn about the area I will be living and working in outside of Dartmouth!
The river we stopped by in Vermont!
I had a friend in my fraternity on a warm day of the break ask if I wanted to go driving with him. Since it was a nice day I agreed and we went on a drive up North in Vermont. We passed the trees starting to bloom and listened to music with the windows down. We stopped by a nearby river and got to just hike a little bit near the waters. I had never been to this area of Vermont, so it was a new adventure for me! When it gets warmer I want to stop by that area and swim a little bit!
Another adventure I did was a Gile hike. Gile Mountain is a short and easy hike that ends with a fire tower where you can see for miles and miles. Especially in the fall, it's a popular hike to do, with the fall foliage being so picturesque. I went with a '26 friend of mine, and even though there was a lot of snow on the trail, the hike was a nice experience, especially since this was my first Gile hike in the spring.
The view from Gile!
As I enter my final term at Dartmouth, I want to get out of the Dartmouth bubble and experience more of what the Upper Valley has to offer. Whether that be shops, restaurants, or more beautiful hikes, I'll be sure to enjoy 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...
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!
