Henry Cammerzell is currently a senior at Princeton University where he is pursuing a degree in linguistics. Henry is the recipient of the 2023 Stinnecke Prize, Princeton’s highest award to a student for Latin and Ancient Greek. Studying Latin since the fifth grade and Ancient Greek since high school, his studies focus on the evolution and mechanics of Indo-European and Semitic languages, and he plans on pursuing these interests further in a doctoral linguistics program. His senior thesis research analyzes the verbal system of Akkadian using novel theoretical approaches in morphosyntax. In his last two years of high school, Henry completed a Classics dual enrollment program at Princeton University. With Calder Classics, he participated in the 2016 Reading Latin + Art History program in Florence which inspired him to continue to pursue classical languages throughout high school and into college. For the 2023 season, Henry was a program chaperone and teaching assistant for the Florence and Rome sessions. While on campus, Henry works as an analyst, manager, and recruiter for Princeton’s football team and enjoys weightlifting. He also has interests in modern languages, speaking both French and Greek.
