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!

One thing that I learned to adore about Dartmouth is the fact that we have our own museum.
You heard me right, a whole museum!
I couldn't believe it when I found out, and I have grown to love this new factor Dartmouth students benefit from.
Since the 1980s, Dartmouth's Hood Museum has created an area for learning about different works of art. The museum holds thousands of artifacts, including prehistoric items, thousands of paintings, and even a National Historic Landmark! It recently went through renovations which allowed for more space and more learning opportunities.
Not only have I been able to go into the museum to discover new works of art, but I have also been able to use the museum for classes as well! In one of my classes, #EverythingHasaHistory: Understanding America Today, we learned about the history behind current issues in order to get a firm grasp of why they are occurring. It is a very cool class that I would highly recommend. In this class, we did a project around different historical objects, and my partner and I were assigned a piece of art in the museum! We were able to meet with a curator to discuss the artwork, study the history behind the piece of art, and even bring our class to the museum to present our project! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to do all of this at college, especially in my first term.
Part of the artwork held by the museum. Titled "Tightrope: Myopia 2", this piece of art was the focus of my project
All in all, I am grateful that I have the chance to study at a college that allows for many opportunities to learn, whether through excellent teachers, small class sizes, or even their own museum! Throughout my time at Dartmouth, I am definitely going to take advantage of the museum to widen my educational horizons. If you want to learn more about the museum, check it out here.
My first time in Chicago at the Society of Women Engineers Conference in Chicago, Illinois! Fully funded by Dartmouth, I had a great time meeting amazing companies and getting to know fellow women engineers.
Through Dartmouth's Guarini Institute for International Study, I am getting to take classes and experience life at Wellesley College, an all-women's school!
Academics can be challenging at Dartmouth. But there are lots of groups across campus here to support you through your academic journey. Read on for my experience asking for help and a few organizations that might be helpful to you!
