Hargreaves Jr., former dean of the school. The Leon Hargreaves Distinguished Professorship in Forest Finance, the school’s first named professorship, will be filled by an expert on state and federal financial policies that affect forest lands, economic development and environmental quality in Georgia.
Mike Clutter, former director of decision support and information resources at the Timber Company, has been appointed to the position. His responsibilities include teaching and research in forest finance, with particular emphasis on timberland investments, financial returns of forest operations, forest portfolio analysis and the financial impacts of current and proposed state and federal regulations.
“Our father would be so pleased that this professorship benefits not only the faculty of the school, but also the students,” says Carol Hargreaves Ryan. “And he would be doubly pleased that it is going to Mike Clutter, who is also his friend’s son,” says Dee Hargreaves Forester. Clutter’s father, the late Jerome Clutter, was professor of forest management and founder of the school’s Plantation Management Research Cooperative.
Mike Clutter earned a Ph.D. in forest biometrics and finance at UGA in 1992, an M.F.R. in quantitative timber management at UGA in 1983 and a bachelor’s degree in forest resources at Mississippi State University in 1981. He worked as a research scientist and later as research project leader for Union Camp Corporation in Savannah from 1983 to 1994. In 1994, he moved to Atlanta as manager of Forest Resources Decision Support for the Georgia-Pacific Corporation where he was promoted to director of decision support.
