Mathematics and Statistics Professor Elizabeth Housworth has received the 2023 Gordon Faculty Award from IU's Division of Student Affairs.

This recognition award is given annually to one faculty member on the IU-Bloomington campus for contributing to the Division's mission, vision, and values through interacting with and attending to students in both the curricular and co-curricular areas.

Professor Housworth teaches and serves in both the Mathematics and Statistics Departments. In Statistics, she is both Chair and Director of Business Statistics. The award committee in its citation noted that Professor Housworth earned multiple nominations from staff in the Office of Disability Services for Students. "I'm glad to see Professor Housworth's determined efforts in support of student success recognized in this way. While Chair of Mathematics, she tutored one-on-one a student for much of a semester, developed an online Finite Math course that met the Quality Matters benchmarks, grew our teaching mentoring program, and so much more," says Mathematics chair Kevin Pilgrim.
