On January 13th, the CHIPS staff was saddened to hear of the passing of Nyalat (Nya) Ruach. Nya worked at CHIPS as a staff writer in the fall of 2019. A zoom meeting was held to commemorate Nya’s legacy by BSU on January 14th, and at this time their family members intend to hold a memorial service in Rochester this summer. If you are interested in receiving updates/notifications on this possibility, or wish to contribute photos of Nya’s life, please send your preferred contact email to [email protected]. CHIPS extends its condolences and sympathies to those who loved Nya.
