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
Homecoming at Dartmouth is always a special time. The bonfire, the alums coming back, and the general feeling of excitement that permeates the campus are always fun memories that any Dartmouth student and alum can look back on positively. Because of the pandemic and also being abroad last fall, my last homecoming was my first, all the way back in 2019. So this year felt very special, as I felt as if I was experiencing homecoming for the first time again, granted with different people and different perspectives.
First off, the friends and communities I participated in homecoming with are different than my first homecoming. I got to hang out with my friends in my fraternity as we watched the freshman go

around the fire, as well as going to the homecoming football game versus Harvard. I also got to hang out with my friends in my religious community, including seeing a performance with a band a priest at the Catholic student center is a part of. These experiences were really fun, especially because they showed me how much things can change in only a couple of years. In my freshman year, I did not know practically any of the current people I call my friends. However, throughout my time at Dartmouth, I have met new people from various walks of life, and have deepened those relationships.
Go Big Green!
Second, I felt connected to the college community as a whole. Seeing alumni come back, including some that had graduated in recent years, made me really see Dartmouth as not just a college in Hanover, but also as a community that stretches across the world. Whether it was meeting an alum from 1989 and hearing his experiences to seeing the recent graduates who got me excited about post-grad life, I realized that Dartmouth has a knack for creating a great community.
This might be my last homecoming as a student, but it certainly won't be my last one ever!
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!
This term was defined by its learning experiences and personal firsts, from snowsports to winter traditions. As I wait to board my flight back home for spring break, I reflect on the most memorable parts that made this term one of my favorites.
I was excited to hear that two of my friends will be studying abroad in Ghana. Talking with them about what to expect from the program made me remember all the great memories and lessons I made and learned from my study abroad experience there.
