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
I am out of quarantine! After eight days in isolation and many covid tests later, I finally got a negative test. When I got the results back, I packed up my backpack and almost ran out of my apartment to be on campus. It felt like it had been weeks since I was on Dartmouth's campus, and it was great to finally be back.
I alerted many people of the good news!
One thing I am back to doing is giving tours through the admissions department. I have been giving a lot of tours this term, since I am not taking classes, and I love being able to talk about Dartmouth to prospective students. It also gives me major nostalgia, since I remember when I was in their high school shoes, touring various colleges and universities. I like that I'm back providing my perspective of Dartmouth, and why I chose this school.
I am back to drinking coffee and wearing flair for 10:15 Dartmouth tours
Another thing I appreciate about being out of isolation is seeing my friends again. Now that I am out, I can experience the springtime with my friends, go on late-night walks, or just hang out on the Green(especially since now the Green is actually green!)
I can finally participate with the clubs and organizations I am a part of as well. I am really involved with Greek Intervarsity, which is the Greek life ministry on campus, and our Greek IV social finally happened, where we hung out and ate pizza as a group. Especially since I am not going to be on campus next term, I wanted to spend time this spring building up the club, which included doing multiple events for it. These next couple of weeks are going to have many of them!
I can finally participate in my fraternity Bible study now, which we can now have outside in the nice weather
When I end my tours, I often talk about why I chose Dartmouth. One of the main reasons is because of the community here. I have made some of my best friends at this campus, and not being able to hang out with them in isolation definitely was hard. However now, I am going to enjoy these friendships for the rest of the term and make sure to be even more thankful for this community. Until next time!
On Monday, April 8, 2024, a phenomenal total solar eclipse occurred — and we happened to be within the path of totality. As a result, Dartmouth hosted a variety of eclipse-related events on- and off-campus. Find out how I spent the eclipse!
Traditionally, Dartmouth students take three courses during a term, but I decided to take four courses this term! Learn about course load and the academic system at Dartmouth.
