“I like to say that I have the heart of an advisor and the brain of an academic,” said Lynn Mahoney, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at California State University, Los Angeles. That mentality, born out of Mahoney's background as both a lecturer and academic advisor, has been at the forefront of Mahoney's work to improve time‐to‐degree and completion rates on campus. “[Throughout my career] I've been consumed with the inadvertent obstacles we place in students' way as they attempt to achieve their degrees,” Mahoney said. She shared strategies and changes the Cal State LA campus is making to improve completion rates.
