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
What do you do when the temperature hits 80 degrees Fahrenheit? You hang out outside! As spring starts to really kick into high gear, it is nice to have days full of sunshine and warm weather, where campus really starts to come alive after the coldness of winter. This past week, we got some really nice weather at Dartmouth, so I spent a bunch of the days hanging out outside!
The Green was completely packed the first two days of really warm weather, with people hanging out, doing work, chatting with friends, eating, or even napping. I hung out with a couple of my friends while I did some readings for my classes, before getting some ramen from Collis for lunch.
The sky was so clear these past couple of days!
Later, I had my history class, which is on American women in the 20th century. The class is centered on discussions, so there wasn't necessarily a reason to be in a physical classroom. And with the nice weather, I asked my professor if we could have class outside, something that is not uncommon here, especially on nice days. To my delight, she said yes! We all shuffled out of our usual room and had the outdoors as our class, as we talked about the readings for the week, focusing on some work by Sylvia Plath.
Finally, my fraternity had a cookout as a brotherhood event, where we sat on our lawn while eating some good food off of the grill. It was a great event, and I got to chat with some of my friends whom I hadn't talked to in a bit. I even got to see some of my friends who were walking by, and we just all really liked the weather and atmosphere of the past couple of days.
Campus is coming back to life!
As we get more into the spring term, days like these, with warm weather and people outdoors, will continue to happen. So I'm excited for what the future holds!
It's easy to forget how easy it is to access walking trails during the hustle of a Dartmouth term. As graduation nears, I am reminded of how special it is to step off campus and enjoy quiet moments in nature.
With a solar eclipse sweeping across North America for the first time in nearly seven years on April 8th came a road-trip with hundreds of other Dartmouth students to a zone of totality near campus: St. Johnsbury, Vermont!
After returning from an enriching study abroad program, I'm diving into a bustling spring semester here at Dartmouth. Here are my four courses I'm taking this term!
