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
Me 4 years ago at Dimensions, when I decided to go to school here!
This has been a crazy four years, with a pandemic, academic changes, rushing a frat, joining a new religious group on campus, and so much more. I have had so many great memories here so far, and I am excited for this last term as a Dartmouth student. So what does this term have in store for me? Well, for starters, I am finishing up my thesis. My creative writing thesis has been a chaotic time, with writer's block coming up every now and then. But regardless, it has been a good learning experience, pushing myself to become a better writer and also to be a better scheduler of my time. It's not something that I can put off for the last week of the term; I have to consistently be working on it so it can be good!
I am also taking a physics course, something I was not expecting coming to Dartmouth. However, Dartmouth through its liberal arts focus pushes students to learn various subjects in different departments. I'm getting myself out of my comfort zone by taking this class, though it is nice to know however that it is a class on the history of physics, so my history major is coming in clutch.
Finally, I am taking my last history course as an undergrad. The class is looking at American women in the 20th century, and we are currently looking at women in the Second World War. I think this course really shows me why I am a history major. I'm learning more about how sexism and racism intersected in the war efforts, and how many women attempted to unionize to gain better employment and keep their jobs. These are stories not discussed in classes in high school, and so I am glad I am learning more about them now.
Even though it is my last term, and I have a job lined up, I am still a student! And I'm excited to continue learning as the weather warms up!
As a senior, one of the most exciting things for me is my thesis project. In this blog, I describe how to approach making a senior honors thesis. As Dartmouth focuses on their undergraduate research, many students complete a thesis, so let's dive in!
It's been (almost) a full year since I was in your (figurative) shoes! Let's take a trip down memory lane and dissect my Dartmouth application process. Part one of a long journey!
Now that I am more than a half into my Dartmouth experience, I have grown and learned about the world in ways that I would never have anticipated. How do I feel about it? Where do I hope to go next?
As my first year (and first spring) at Dartmouth had come to an end, I wanted to provide some thoughts and reflections on my classes this term. Perhaps you'll find something you'd like to take someday!
As summer winds down and the crispness of fall starts to make its presence felt, I've been taking some time to reminisce about my favorite aspects of life at Dartmouth.
Welcome to the sixth part of Dartmouth Debunked, a series of comprehensive blog posts answering common questions first-years have prior to their arrival at Dartmouth. How does one handle being sick and missing class in a fast-paced quarter system?
