How to be inclusive at GPN!

We want to make sure everyone feels welcome here at GPN!

That means using inclusive language and helping advocate for our friends if someone makes a mistake!

Instead of…

Try…

“Hey girls/ladies/women”

“Hey gang/friends/students/party people”

“Christmas is coming!”

“The holidays are coming!”

“Everyone in tech loves Star Wars”

“I really like Star Wars”
