Clemson University has named Matthew T. “Matt” Holt dean of the College of
Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS). Currently head and professor of
Virginia Tech’s Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, Holt begins
his new position on September 1, 2024.

> Matt brings considerable experience as an agriculturist and academic
> administrator to this role. His leadership, expertise and commitment to our
> land-grant legacy will serve the University well as we continue to improve the
> lives of South Carolinians through education, discovery and outreach in the
> agricultural and life sciences.”
> 
> – CLEMSON UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND PROVOST
> ROBERT H. JONES

Holt is a highly regarded agricultural economist and a leading expert in applied
econometric methods. Throughout his career, he has worked to develop and apply
modern econometric tools to problems related to agricultural market and price
analysis and production and price risk management. His recent work explores the
linkages between climate anomalies and the markets for agricultural and natural
resource products. Twice a visiting faculty member at the Stockholm School of
Economics and once at Aarhus University, Holt’s former Ph.D. students occupy
prominent positions in industry and academia. 

In 2009, Holt was named a Fellow of the Agricultural and Applied Economics
Association, the highest honor this professional association can bestow on its
members. Earlier this year, he received the Distinguished Agriculture Alumni
Award from Purdue’s College of Agriculture, where he earned Bachelor of Science
and Master of Science degrees in agricultural economics. He also holds a
doctoral degree in agricultural economics from the University of Missouri.

> My enthusiasm for this role is sky-high,” said Holt. “The ability to provide
> students with meaningful learning experiences, conduct and report on
> pathbreaking research and be of service to communities and stakeholders in
> South Carolina as dean of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life
> Sciences is one of the most exciting and unique opportunities in the nation.”

Holt joined Virginia Tech as a professor and department head in 2017. As head,
and in partnership with the Farm Credit Administration, he led his department to
create and launch its online Master of Science in Agricultural and Applied
Economics with an emphasis on applied economic analytics in 2020. Through his
leadership, the department reoriented its Kohl Centre to include a prominent
agribusiness analytics focus in its experiential learning and outreach
efforts. He also facilitated the creation of the department’s Data Science for
the Public Good program, which merges experiential student learning in data
science with public policy problems elevated by Virginia Cooperative Extension
faculty and staff. In 2019, Holt was asked to serve as an inaugural member of
Virginia Tech’s enrollment management advisory committee because of his
econometrics expertise. 

Since 2022, he has been co-leader for the Virginia Tech Advantage, a key campus
initiative on access and affordability. Before that, Holt held positions as
professor and Dwight Harrigan Endowed Faculty Fellow in Natural Resource
Economics and head of the Department of Economics, Finance, and Legal Studies at
the University of Alabama. Earlier, he was a professor and Wickersham Chair of
Excellence in Agricultural Research at Purdue University. Additionally, Holt has
held faculty positions at the University of Arizona, North Carolina State
University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“As someone who grew up on a family farm and still has farming interests in
Indiana, I am extremely honored to serve in this role,” Holt continued.
“The Clemson Elevate strategic plan is designed to ensure that the University
continues to expand its reach and reputation as a leading public, land-grant
institution. It’s an exciting time to be at Clemson University!”

Provost Jones also thanked Greg Yarrow, interim dean for CAFLS, for providing
steady transitional leadership during the search for a permanent dean.

“Greg’s steadfast commitment to support CAFLS’s land-grant mission of
teaching, research and outreach are invaluable as we aim to achieve even greater
heights of excellence for the University.”
