Colorado State University student dies in plane crash in Nepal

There is a hole in the hearts of those who knew the woman who died in the plane crash.

According to media reports, Rojina Shrestha and her family were killed in Nepal on May 29th.

According to media reports, the flight left the resort town of Pokhara. The plane was on a 20-minute flight to the mountain town of Jomsom when it crashed near the town in an area of deep river gorges and mountains.

Bad weather is believed to be the cause of the crash of the Tara Air plane.

Shrestha and Callie Slaughter both went to Colorado State University to get their PhDs.

Shrestha and Rabina traveled to Nepal with their parents for the first time.

Slaughter said that she was a very dear friend and a beautiful light in this world. She was a wonderful friend and a teacher. I will miss her a lot.

Slaughter said she was going to teach Shrestha how to drive as she had just gotten her permit, and that Shrestha's favorite TV show was "Grey's Anatomy".

Slaughter said that she was attempting to make a difference. Right now, I am in pain.

Carol Wilusz, professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Pathology and director of the Cell andMolecular Biology program at Colorado State University, wrote in an email to students that Shrestha had transferred to the school. The Snow Lab was where she was working on her PhD.

Shrestha was transferred to be closer to her partner, according to Wilusz. He is a student at Colorado State University.

Wilusz wrote in the email that Rojina was a valued and loved member of the first year cohort. We will celebrate, remember and honor Rojina's short life, as we come to terms with this devastating loss.

Wilusz wrote that there are resources available to support faculty, staff and students.

Shrestha is survived by two people.
