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

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
I can't believe it. The final blog post of my junior year. It feels like just yesterday, I was in London, blogging about my experiences in the English Foreign Study Program with other Dartmouth students. Not only that, the weather has revealed how much time has passed, with the now 80-degree weather a stark contrast from the negative teens we experienced in the winter term.
And now, after two terms of not moving that much, I am currently in an entirely new state, Oklahoma. Why Oklahoma, you may ask? Well for the summer I will be interning at Life Church, a church located mainly in the Midwest and with central offices near OKC. I'll be doing content development in the Creative Media team.
First day of my internship!
These past ten days have been a whirlwind. The day after flying down to Pennsylvania where I live, I hopped in a car with my mom and embarked on the 20(!) hour trip down to Oklahoma. We did it over the course of three days, but even so, the long stretches of I-44 and I-70 definitely got tiring after a while! But finally, I got to Oklahoma, where I got settled in and started just yesterday at my internship.
And I already love it. The people here are amazing, and I'm excited to pursue creative projects in a faith-based environment. But I have to admit, I do already miss Dartmouth. The 22s are graduating, and people are all ready to head to the next steps in their life, whether a career, sophomore summer, or an internship like me. However, even so, I think that is the amazing part of what this year has taught me.
One of the many state signs we passed driving!
There is so much to love about Dartmouth. Whether it is the opportunity to study abroad, to do a creative writing fellowship, take classes with world-class professors, or simply meet wonderful people and experience this campus, I find it easier and easier to love this place as time goes on.
At Dartmouth, there is an undergraduate requirement for language; after all, it is the liberal arts! Fulfilling this requirement looks different for various people and I will focus on my experience.
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.

As I approach the halfway mark of my Dartmouth journey this spring, I find myself reflecting on the significance of distributive and world culture requirements in shaping my academic experience.
This is my final term before senior year, which is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. One thing I am excited about is the classes I am taking this term, so let me tell you more!
This is part two of me "nerding out" about my honors thesis! If you want to learn more about independent projects, theses, or the humanities at Dartmouth, check it out!
