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!

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
Last Saturday, instead of spending time doing work in Sanborn, spending time on the Green, or hanging out in my fraternity house, I spent most of the day out on the golf course, with a backpack full of supplies for outdoor events. What I was preparing for was the Dartmouth Outing Club's first year trips, a tradition many students, both current and former, can look back at with fond memories as their introduction to Dartmouth.
My First Year Trip, when I was just seventeen years old!
First Year Trips is a week-long outdoor trip that first-year students do before their matriculation in the fall. First-year students are put into a group of about eight other first-year students, as well as two upperclassmen. They then have a variety of trips they might go on as a group, exploring the area they will come to know in their four years here. For example, I lead a first-year trip last year, where we did cabin camping and nature literature. With my '24 co-trip leader, we introduced Dartmouth to the new '25s. We stayed at a cabin, explored the area nearby, and read and discussed literature while looking at the world around us. It was an amazing time, and I loved being a trip leader. So when the application to lead a trip came up again, I gladly said yes.

Saturday's events include training for what we might encounter in the upcoming first-year trip. We packed bags with food, cooking supplies, and some tarp as we ventured out to the golf course and traversed the trails to train, whether by putting up tarps, using a Trangia to cook dinner, or doing land navigation with a map. In between, we had q&a sessions where we talked about concerns about trips, and how to handle different situations that might come up.
I am so excited to lead another first-year trip and meet some '26s. It is an amazing time, and I want to help them have great experiences!
As a second-year at Dartmouth, I've embraced leadership roles that foster community, creativity, and support! Here's a look at how each role has shaped my journey.
