Ramen Gami Reopens after Three Years

By Yukthi Sangoi | Editor-in-Chief

The last few weeks saw lines of hungry customers stretching out to the corner of Sussex Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Ramen Gami, a Japanese restaurant specializing in the eponymous noodles, once again stands right across the street from the NJIT Park. On March 27, the restaurant had its soft reopening after a fire broke out in the building in 2020.

Owner Mike Cheung and his wife started their restaurant business in 2016 with no expectations. “We were just thinking, ‘let’s serve ramen and see how it goes,’” Cheung said. “It was just the two of us — I remember taking orders, running back, and making the ramen.”

The restaurant grew without any advertising or marketing. “It was by word of mouth,” he commented. “We started with just two employees, [me and my wife,] and we grew to just over 25 associates before the COVID-19 pandemic.”

However, just before 3 a.m. on Feb. 17, 2020, a fire consumed some of the Ramen Gami building as well as adjacent areas. Cheung had the Newark Arson Squad inspect the space, but the cause of the fire is still unknown. He noted that the fire started in the back room of the restaurant, where only dry ingredients were stored like sugar and salt. “There were no electrical outlets — nothing that could start the fire,” he added.

Immediately following this news, Maria Vasco, a customer and local resident, began a GoFundMe to support the staff that were affected by the fire since the restaurant could no longer function. At the time, Cheung lived in the apartments

adjacent to the restaurant, so he was also displaced due to the tragedy.

“The last thing on my mind was starting a GoFundMe, but [Vasco] said, ‘Mike, we already started this, and we’ll get you as much money as we can to rebuild,’” he said. “I was blown away. I didn’t know anything about it.”

Despite this effort, the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread rapidly just about a month later, delaying any plans Cheung had to bring the restaurant back into business. When asked about some of the challenges he faced to reopen Ramen Gami, he replied with, “everything.”

“From the architect, to [Newark’s] City Hall, to PSEG, and to top it all off, we were going through the pandemic,” he said. “We couldn’t bring people in here to inspect the space. People were

retiring earlier; people were not going to work. Working from home didn’t pan out for us because we needed people in the field.” The renovation was supposed to take about eight months to a year.

To keep his family financially afloat, Cheung became an employee at other restaurants while being careful to not give away any specific recipes of Ramen Gami. He and his wife also did a lot of cooking and experimentation by themselves during the gap of three years to keep themselves sane, Cheung explained.

The soft reopening felt very different to him from the initial start of the business in 2016. Now, there stood expectations from previous customers and the local community, which had all motivated Cheung and his wife to reopen the restaurant. Many people messaged the

business during the three years asking when it was going to come back.

“After one year, our morale was really low; after two, it was almost completely gone,” he said. “After three years, we were completely drained, but it was the constant messaging that told us that there’s no turning back.”

With some products still being shipped to the country, the soft reopening excludes certain dishes to be served at Ramen Gami for some time. “Once we’re settled in, fully staffed, and fully stocked, we’ll slowly introduce the new items that we have planned,” Cheung stated.

He mentioned that there will be more vegan options at the restaurant. Although he was considering adding gluten-free choices, the restaurant space doesn’t allow him to offer those. “We would basically need another special cooker to avoid any cross contamination and have 100% gluten-free options,” he said. “We can, however, make kosher and vegetable broths completely separate from the chicken broth.”

Cheung is extremely grateful for the immense support he has always gotten from the NJIT, Rutgers-Newark, and local Newark communities. In 2016, one of his and his wife’s ambitions was to make the best possible product at an affordable price.

“Our main goal was to see our customers smile — that’s all we ever wanted,” Cheung expressed, “and that has never changed.”

Behind the Scenes of Upcoming JerseyCTF 2023

Artificial intelligence and time travel stand as the themes for this year’s JerseyCTF, which will be held on April 15–16. JerseyCTF is a beginner-friendly Capture the Flag (CTF) competition that aims to inspire interest in cybersecurity.

Hosted both virtually and in-person, JerseyCTF provides participants with Jeopardy-style questions in categories including cryptography, forensics, binary exploitation and reversing, open-source intelligence, and web exploitation, according to Logan Reyes, a founder of JerseyCTF and information technology administration and security graduate student.

This event is a collaboration among many organizations, including the NJIT Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), NJIT Information and Cybersecurity Club (NICC), NJIT Secure Computing Initiative, Rutgers Security Club, and the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell.

This year, cybersecurity YouTube content creator John Hammond and security engineers from Meta and NJCCIC will be involved as tech talk speakers.

“This is our first year that we will offer full in-person activities,” Reyes said. “While the event is still open to virtual participation from anyone in the world, we encourage local students and professionals to attend in-person to be surrounded by like-minded people passionate for cybersecurity.”

NICC public relations manager and fourth-year information technology major John Zabriskie mentioned, “The team has made a lot of effort to push for people to come physically and to improve our ratio of male to female participants, trying to even it out to 50-50.”

Alfred Simpson, NICC president and third-year information technology major, made about 10 of the challenges in the event. “I think the hardest part was thinking in reverse,” he commented. “When I approach a CTF, my goal is to solve the challenges in front of me — I’m not necessarily thinking about every aspect of its creation.”

Recently, NICC held its own private CTF to prepare students for JerseyCTF. “It was really cool to see the various ways people went about solving the challenges that we created. Some find

really creative ways to solve them or wild shortcuts that you never knew existed,” Simpson added.

“Students should participate because there is a wide range of challenges that are meant to require skills needed in the cybersecurity field,” said Ian Hanna, NICC vice president and third-year information technology major. While doing these challenges, students can test their skills and learn new ones that are relevant to the cybersecurity industry.

Reyes is always most excited about the involvement from states outside of New Jersey and countries outside of the United States; the map above portrays the event’s participation around the world in 2022.

“This year’s JerseyCTF is the culmination of ACM's two years of experience and the relentless efforts of NICC,” stated ACM president and second-year computer science major Ethan Ho. “We hope to see anyone who is interested in the event in person or tuned in to streams!”

GlassRoots Combines Artistry and Advocacy in Newark

By Mrunmayi Joshi | Managing Editor

Despite being a fairly industrialized city, Newark contains many patrons of the finer arts who care deeply about using their talents to revitalize the area. One example is GlassRoots, a nonprofit glass-making studio in downtown Newark, which not only teaches the arts of glass blowing and flameworking to local youth, but also supports local artists. The studio’s programs manager Michelle Knox is a glass sculptor and came to speak at NJIT’s March 28 MakerSPEAK event.

Founded in 2001 by Rutgers-Newark instructor Pat Kettenring and Newark Women’s Association trustee Dena Lowenbach, the studio was inspired by artists in Tacoma, Washington, who wanted to offer local youth an alternative to the proliferating gang violence at the time. “[Kettenring] saw what an introduction to glassart could have for kids and pictured a similar benefit for people living in Newark,” said Knox.

The studio specializes in several different areas of glass making. These include flameworking, using a torch to shape a rod of glass; glass blowing, inflating a rod of molten glass into a bubble by using a blowpipe; staining glass; and creating mosaic work. Classes are available for students and adults, and independent artists can rent the space and produce their own work. The rates can be found on GlassRoots’ website.

GlassRoots offers local high school students several free programs and internships that aim to max-

imize their scientific knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. “Over the years, we’ve expanded our range of programs,” Knox commented. “These include our workforce programs and college and career readiness programs, where we see students’ leadership and mentorship skills. We have served over 25,000 young people since the studio was founded.”

The primary way in which students learn about glassmaking is during school field trips; after-school, weekend, and summer workshops; and workforce development and entrepreneurship programs that develop skills and create opportunities to generate income. Adults and other community members can attend glass-art education programs for people of all ages in public weekend and evening classes as well as glass-art educational programs for adults and young adults with developmental disabilities.

Adults have options available to them as well, such as the “Arts for Art’s Sake program to help them explore their creativity and reignite skills,” Knox added. There are also classes whose durations range from a few hours to a few months, that are taught by GlassRoots staff and will give attendees better skills in that regard.

Knox also touched on her educational background, having received her bachelor’s degree of fine arts from California College of the Arts and a master’s degree of fine arts from Tulane University. After completing

a Non-Profit Leadership Training Certification from The County College of Morris in New Jersey, “I’m really passionate about community engagement in the arts, especially by creating public art,” she said.

She is also an accomplished artist, having presented her pieces at numerous exhibitions across the country; these include Artspace88 in Keyport, New Jersey; Atlantic Highlands Art Council in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey; The Glass Wheel in Norfolk, Virginia; and Keys Consulting in Sag Harbor, New York. Knox is also the recipient of several different awards focusing on her pieces and advocacy for underrepresented groups.

About her work, Knox stated, “I work in a diverse set of media that speaks to the history of sculpture, including wood, concrete, and metal as well as glass. These materials are combined with traditional and non-traditional methods.” Her art focuses on the scale and physicality of a structure, providing an experience that is larger than the viewer. She added that the work is supposed to include audience participation on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

For those interested in learning more, the GlassRoots studio is located on Bleeker Street next to the Rutgers-Newark campus — a nine-minute walk from NJIT. Check it out to learn more about opportunities and Knox’s work!

Students Attend Pro-Life and Pro-Choice Marches

On January 22, 1973, the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down, legalizing abortion across the United States of America during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. A later decision, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, adjusted the two-trimester standard to one of viability, which allowed states to prohibit abortion in cases where a baby could survive if born prematurely. However, there are large disparities in viability based on access to healthcare services, especially regarding geographic region and socioeconomic status.

Roe v. Wade was never accepted by everyone in the nation, and calls for its overturn began the same year. Since 1974, besides the COVID-19 pandemic years, hundreds of thousands of pro-life advocates have descended upon the District of Columbia annually, in protest of what they see as the murder of over 60 million people since the Roe v. Wade decision was handed down. In 2010, a Washington Post columnist noted that about half of those attending the march were under 30, which stands in stark contrast to the stereotype that the pro-life movement is primarily made up of old men who want to restrict women’s rights.

NJIT students attended the 2023 March for Life on Friday, Jan. 20, two days before what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade if the decision had not been overturned. NJIT fourth-year student and industrial engineering major Hannah Cherrey said, “I've gone to the March for Life multiple times in the past, showing support for the protection of life from conception to natural death. This time around, I also came to celebrate the big achievement, which is the overturning of Roe v. Wade.”

She commented, “While there is still work to do, this was the original reason the March for Life came about, and I can only imagine how accomplished marchers who have been there since the beginning must feel.” The event began with a rally at 12 p.m., followed by the official march at around 1:30 p.m. Starting from the Washington Monument, protesters walked to the road between the Capitol and the Supreme Court.

The lineup of speakers at the rally included people from various backgrounds, including a doctor, a New Jersey state representative, and actors. They shared experiences of keeping an unexpected child or adopting children. Cherrey added, “The crowd was also very diverse. Even though the media sometimes frames the pro-life movement as one made up of a specific demographic, that is far from the case. Young and old people, men and women, and religious and non-religious people were all present at the march.”

Marches can be important for various reasons, including the opportunity to connect with others who share the same views. Being with other people who are fighting for the same cause can help protesters feel stronger in their beliefs. In terms of making progress, being physically present to make one’s voice heard shows lawmakers that a movement is not one which can easily be ignored. Over time, with consistent effort, marches can indeed lead to change, with countless examples both in the United States and around the world.

Jonathon Kreinberg, a first-year electrical engineering graduate student who attended the March for Life, commented, “March for Life was an experience like no other. Often in environments I am used to, it is common for people who hold similar pro-life views as me shying away due to social pressures. March for Life was

different. It was a place where we could all breathe and freely express what we believe without such pressures.”

Kreinberg spoke about the diversity in the crowd, saying that he saw “people of all backgrounds, young and old, children with joyful smiles, and even some elderly people who had trouble walking but still showed up. It felt like we were all united by love, like a big family fighting for the protection of innocent lives and celebrating the institution of the family.”

“During the end of the march,” Kreinberg recalled, “there was some opposition by the court building involving protestors yelling against the cause, but the marchers remained collectively peaceful. They kept holding their signs, singing hymns, saying group prayers, playing instruments, remaining united, and finding true joy in one another.”

Many in the NJIT community do not share this view. Anousha Raina, a fourth-year management and finance major, attended a 2017 Women’s March in New York City. She explained, “There were tons of diversity in gender, race, and even what each person represented; there were college students, protest groups, older women, families that brought their children, people in the alternative scene, and reporters. It was about equal laws for men and for women, and abortion is an equal law.”

On her personal experience, Raina commented that she shifted her focus to combating issues from a business perspective rather than politically. “I may not be impacting America,” she said, “but I am impacting the people around me. I have started several advocacy clubs on campus, including Advocates for Sexual Health Awareness. I’m lucky to be a part of a family that sees me as equal to my brothers and sees all women as equal to men.

"Kudos to the women that went to the Women’s March, kudos to the women that did not go, and kudos to all women: regardless of where you are from or what your family believes in, these are issues that you face as a woman.”

2023 marked the first March for Life since the Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson overturned the precedent of universal legality of pre-viability abortions set by Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Although the setting of the Roe v. Wade decision was what created the March for Life, and to a large extent the pro-life movement, Dobbs v. Jackson did not cause the movement to dissipate.

Likewise, though the Women’s March started as a response to the election of Donald Trump, it has persisted after his tenure, with its attendants dissatisfied with what they see to be inequities in America. Many pro-life activists say their goal is to make abortion not just illegal, but unthinkable. After all, if life truly starts at conception, and therefore embryos and fetuses are indeed persons, crossing the Texas-New Mexico border in a Greyhound would not make killing them acceptable. Conversely, if abortion is essential healthcare, it would be unacceptable to refuse that to women in many states.

No matter one’s opinion on the matter, policies will be shaped in the years to come, largely by members of Gen Z; it is inspiring to see NJIT students stand up for causes that they feel so passionately about.

Club Spotlight

NJIT HOSA

By Mrunmayi Joshi | Managing Editor Photos from NJIT HOSA

Reviving an organization is no easy feat, but the 2022-23 executive board of NJIT HOSA pulled it off. The club is a collegiate chapter of the international organization HOSA – Future Health Professionals, formerly known as Health Occupations Students of America, and aims to provide resources and opportunities to biology and pre-health students at NJIT. The organization existed at NJIT prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but halted most activities for a number of years.

Club president and second-year biomedical engineering major Sriya Chinthalapudi said, “HOSA is a professional organization where students can explore the healthcare field without the pressure of classes or grades. It’s a place where you can explore things on your own — to see what you like and don’t like, so that you can start the professional development process early on.”

HOSA chapters across the world host individual events and partner with other local organizations to advance knowledge about a particular area of healthcare. However, a key part of the organization is its regional, national, and international competitions involving a range of healthcare topics. Categories include — but are not limited to — CPR and first aid, emergency medical services, medical math, and medical innovation.

Chinthalapudi was interested in starting a club that focused on friendly competition because of her previous experience participating in science-centric competitive organizations. “For these events, the nice thing is that people are pushed by self-motivation,” she said. “There aren’t grades or any external fac-

tors; it’s about you and your own satisfaction when winning.”

Although there are several science-based organizations at NJIT, Chinthalapudi did not find any that were specifically geared towards providing opportunities for volunteering and professional development for pre-health majors.

However, when she discovered NJIT’s chapter of HOSA during March 2022, she decided to resuscitate the club. “It’s actually less difficult to re-activate a club than it is to start a new one,” she said. “It’s a matter of showing [Student Senate] that there are lots of people interested, like through a form.”

“You also need to explain how your organization will benefit the group,” Chinthalapudi added, “and then you can submit an application, and potentially get invited to speak to the Student Senate to make your case.” Additional requirements include creating a club constitution with other executive board members. When HOSA was successfully revived, however, it was granted the budget that it previously had in the past rather than having to start from the minimum Tier IV budget.

The club is currently focusing on career development sessions for biology and pre-health students, such as companies visiting to work with students, information sessions, panels including established healthcare professionals, resumé reviews, and more. Most recently, NJIT HOSA co-hosted a session with On Time Medical Transportation, in which the pathway to becoming an emergency medical technician and paid emergency medical service opportunities were

These songs won’t be recorded in the studio, so if you were waiting for a new album, this is what you’ll be getting. Digging a bit deeper, art pop musician kendall :3 released her new extended play “GRACE,” a set of songs inspired by Elden Ring. The first two songs are some of the most chaotic, forward-thinking glitch pop music we’ve ever heard, and the last four are a set of flowing, piano-focused art pop. It’ll certainly leave an impression!

On the competition front, all three participating teams from NJIT HOSA took part in the New Jersey state HOSA tournament. The club took home one first place and two second place prizes in the categories Emergency Medical Technician, Medical Math, and Medical Innovation respectively. Each team qualified for the international HOSA competition hosted in Dallas, Texas this June.

Second-year biology major Tanisha Shah, who won first place in the Emergency Medical Technician event along with Chinthalapudi, said, “Competing was exciting, and the environment of the event was fun and collaborative. It wasn’t too cutthroat and competitive, which I liked.”

“My favorite part was dancing to

‘Naatu Naatu’ with other members by the stage before the awards ceremony,” she added, laughing.

“I think we cater to a lot of different things,” reflected Chinthalapudi. “We’ve been ramping up a lot, and it’s a really proud moment when we see people interested in our events.” The club also hosted a trivia night, giving away HOSA merch and free MCAT preparation materials. “There’s so much going on behind the scenes, but it’s really worth it when people are genuinely engaged and want to know more.”
