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!
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
Work Hard, Play Hard: A Green Key Weekend at Dartmouth!
This week has been a whirlwind from beginning to end! After two years, Dartmouth's annual spring festival, known affectionately as Green Key, occurred this weekend! The weekend held many events, but even so, I saw the Dartmouth culture of work hard, play hard.
There are many concerts that occur during Green Key, with a couple of big headliners during the main night on Friday. This Green Key, the main concert had rapper Doechii, band Saint Motel, and rapper Kyle, all performing some of their biggest songs to a huge crowd close to Baker Berry Library! There were also other smaller concerts, with bands such as ParrotFish and NOTD performing, as well as student bands.
Saint Motel played my favorite song by them, "Sisters"!
I had a blast going to the different concerts, especially as this was my first ever Green Key. However, I also realized my work needed to get done (who would have thought?) So, throughout Green Key, there were times I dipped into the and worked on my fellowship, adding some narrative to make my story fuller and gripping. Not only that, but some of my other tasks, such as emailing my department or contacting someone for prayer requests, also were completed during Green Key.
My friend in the middle is actually in the same room as I write this also doing her work!
It was interesting, however, to see other people in how they prepared academically for Green Key. Some did their work in the week leading up to Green Key, getting their work done before the festivities began. Some did a little bit throughout, and some left it for after the celebrations. Dartmouth culture is very much like this. People have fun, whether by going down to the river, hanging out in a frat, or doing their club sport, but they also focus on their work. The library is often full of students, students who are passionate about their studies, but who all have a social life outside of their studies!
Some of my rising senior friends from New York have been in contact with me since graduation, and I've compiled a list of FAQs that might help you better understand life at Dartmouth!
From orientation week to your classes, you can easily find community at Dartmouth! Read on to know how I met my Dartmouth family and where you might also find yours.
