Maud received her Ph.D. degree in agricultural economics with a specialty in agribusiness at Purdue University in the summer 2010.

Dr. Kane joined the SHSU agricultural and industrial sciences department in the summer 2010. Dr. kane teaches three classes a semester on topics such as agribusiness management, policy, future and market prices, and entrepreneurship. Prior to coming to SHSU, she taught finance, economics, agribusiness, and applied statistics at Purdue University and Ivy Tech (a community college). When not teaching, Dr. Kane enjoys doing research on topics such as innovation, buying decisions of commercial producers, tools to manage uncertainty, and methods to improve learning in the classroom.
