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 senior, I have been wanting to make sure that my time at Dartmouth is filled with new experiences. Dartmouth has so many opportunities for students to do, such as studying abroad or doing fellowships, but there are also smaller--yet still meaningful--opportunities for students to take advantage of while they are here. This week, I made a commitment to go to some of these events!
The first event was a book reading by a recent graduate, Caroline Cook. Cook just published a book based on the life of the first female tenure professor at Dartmouth. The book "Tell Them to Be Quiet and Wait" seemed very interesting, and I was lucky enough to buy a signed copy after the reading. I especially liked the topic, since reading books and stories based on or set at Dartmouth lets me imagine the world that the story is in. I can imagine the Green, Baker Library, or Webster Avenue, something that not many readers can do!
Hopefully I can come back to campus after I graduate with my own book!
The second event was a rare books exhibition held at Rauner Library. The library holds tens of thousands of rare books and artifacts and is especially accessible to students. The exhibit was led by the Catholic Student Center, Aquinas House, and led by a guest priest named Father Innocent Smith, O.P.
An artifact from the exhibit!
The books, manuscripts, and hymns were extremely interesting to look at, and I had to be careful to not get any of the pages smudged with my fingers! But the historian side in me was very happy to see these artifacts, and it made me want to go to Rauner events even more.
With all of the various events Dartmouth has each week, it can be easy to simply ignore the emails advertising them. However, taking time to see what is going on and attending for a little bit is often a rewarding experience. I look forward to exploring more!
Planning on visiting Dartmouth as a prospective student or an interested person wanting to see our beautiful campus? In this post, I share insider tips to ensure your visit is fulfilled!
Witnessing an eclipse was one of the most exciting days in my life to date, and a solid reminder of our place in this universe. Read on to hear about 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...
Many small classes at Dartmouth are seminar-style and are the cornerstone of the intellectual exploration and intentionality that define the learning experience at Dartmouth.
