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!

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 guess this is becoming a series! As I am over halfway through my senior fall term, I have been trying to do many iconic Dartmouth traditions. A little bit ago, I did the Lou's Challenge, which you can read about here. In this post, I wanted to write about my experience hiking a well-known mountain, Gile Mountain!
In the fall, Gile is known to Dartmouth students as an amazing place to see the fall foliage. One Sunday afternoon, as I was getting ready to do work, some of my friends invited me to hike with them up Gile, it took a little convincing, but I knew this would be one of the best times to hike it. It isn't that much of a hike, and the entire trip including driving there and back would be about an hour tops.
Just some pals on Gile!
The hike was easy, with us taking time to take pictures as we walked up the mountain. We passed multiple other people who were hiking Gile, and it was an overall happy experience. And when we got to the top, we got to see an amazing sunset, along with the beautiful New England foliage.
However, that was not my only experience hiking Gile. Later on in the term, a couple of the guys in Aquinas House, the Catholic student center on campus, wanted to do a night hike up Gile. So we once again trekked up the mountain with pizza, a blanket, and excitement! We were able to see the stars, as well as Dartmouth College from where we were. It was a very calming and peaceful experience, and it was fun to hike up Gile again and such a random time.
Happy Faces in the Dark on Gile!
Overall, hiking Gile is something every student should do at least once in their here, especially when there is peak fall foliage. It is something you won't forget!
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.
