Meet the People Who Make Dartmouth Dartmouth
Humans of Hanover But what exactly makes this place profound? What makes Hanover electric? The people, of course. We affectionately call them the Humans of Hanover, and you’ll meet several of them right here. One thing you’ll notice is that there’s no Dartmouth “type,” and that’s exactly the way we like it. What distinguishes Dartmouth College? Certainly, its profound sense of place amid the dizzyingly tall pines of New Hampshire. Definitely its academic, artistic, and athletic excellence. And, yes, the famously buzzing little college town in which it sits—Hanover.

Tulio Huggins ’23 Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Majors: English and History with a concentration in Creative Writing
“Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”
A thought leader in religious spaces on campus like Christian Union and the ecumenical journal Dartmouth Apologia, Tulio Huggins actually intended to major in government until a course called “Everything Has a History” changed his mind. “That class really cemented the idea that the past affects our everyday lives and our future,” he says, crediting the course with inspiring him to major in history. He then added a second major in English with a concentration in creative writing. “My majors,” he reflects, “have influenced me to look at my beliefs through different lenses, and I think that’s helped deepen my faith.”
Professor of Studio Art Soo Sunny Park often finds inspiration for her globally acclaimed work in the classroom. “Teaching inspires my work,” she says, “and I hope that by showing students how to think creatively with materials, they can find a voice that helps them change the world.”
Tulio leaped at the opportunity to study in London with fellow Dartmouth classmates and professors on the English department’s Foreign Study Program (FSP). His time away from campus proved to him that the Dartmouth community stretches across oceans. “The reason I picked Dartmouth was because I saw a community, and I felt I could make it my home,” he says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had conversations that have gone well into the morning with people from different spaces in my life. Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”
“It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own, even after they leave the College.”
Professor Park coaches students to become observers of their own art and the art of their classmates, developing the integrity to critique work empathetically. “Some students feel at peace and engaged in class because they’ve found a kind of home in studio art. They learn to express themselves in ways that help them better understand themselves. I’m sure this is true for people in other departments, too.” She notes that there’s a bond between all the ‘makers’ on campus, including those working in film and engineering, that makes for an especially dynamic community within a community. She adds that while many of her students have gone on to become successful artists, others have gone on to become industrial designers or surgeons. “It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own,” she notes, “even after they leave the College.”
Students receiving need-based financial aid pay the same net price for a term in Hanover as a Dartmouth off-campus study program anywhere in the world.
