Abstract: Recognition of chosen names is a concrete way for educational institutions to remove structural barriers, reduce harm, and build an campus inclusive community. Despite the U.S. context that is embroiled in an assault on diversity efforts and on higher education in general, sustainable change is possible through systems thinking and a change management approach. This strategy highlights that since chosen names are used by transgender and cisgender people alike, recognizing chosen names supports the whole campus community. By focusing on legal and effective policies, practices, and processes grounded in outcomes that benefit all, institutions can support their community while weathering the politicized backlash to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. This article details the authors' experiences at Johns Hopkins University and suggestions for practice.
