As the Interim Chancellor, Dr. Graham produced the Financial Stability Framework that challenged the campus community to alter its spending behaviors and to scrutinize more closely its financial allocations to achieve cost savings. Additionally, Dr. Graham challenged campus leaders to cease the practice of "giving away" its goods and services at the expense of student success.

As the Interim Chancellor, Dr. Graham tasked university leaders to improve the campus culture toward student scholarships. With a very small percentage of its students applying for scholarship funding, the university community worked aggressively to onboard a new technological platform, Scholarship Universe, that increased by 175% the number of students who applied for and received institutional and external scholarship awards, which positively increased student persistence, retention, and four-year completion rates.

As the Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, Dr. Graham not only integrated new technology into the campus operation that allowed for real-time data analysis but also engaged campus leaders, particularly academic deans and department chairpersons, in professional development to assist them with their understanding and use of data to improve decision making. Dr. Graham sought partnership opportunities with EAB, the Partnership for Education Advancement, Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and EdSights to onboard integrated data analytics platforms into the campus operation.
