Louis Agassiz Prize for Excellence in Writing
The College of Engineering, Forestry and Natural Sciences

To encourage and reward the writing skills of NAU undergraduate students, the Louis Agassiz Prize is awarded annually to the winner of an
essay competition.

The 2007/2008 topic for the competition is:
The Limits of Scientific Knowledge:
- Are there limits about what science can tell us about nature?
- Are there things that are in principle beyond the limits of scientific knowledge?
- Can science ultimately reveal everything about nature?
