To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Nisar Keshvani
It gives me great pleasure to provide a reference for Mr Nisar Keshvani,
who was a Digital Media Lecturer from July 2001 – December 2002
at the School of Film, and Media Studies at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP),
Singapore. |
His students have found him to be a dedicated, sensitive and caring
lecturer, with a number of them turning to him for professional and
personal advice.
|
As module leader for 'Web Design Applications', Mr Keshvani taught
students information architecture, researching on the Internet, use
of various online communication media, navigation basics, graphical
user interface, & online publication design.
He was recruited because of his vast & unique experience as a
journalist, educator, international industry networks and specialized
online knowledge and skills. We are proud to have had him on our teaching
team as he is an innovative young individual, and is the first Mass
Communication graduate to return to lecture at his alma mater. |
Mr Keshvani was responsible for assisting with the evolution of our
digital media stream, and introducing our students to the latest industry
practices. He was also responsible for spear-heading an Academic Excellence
Team (AET) to re-strategise our School online presence. Socially,
he initiated the set up of a Curry Club to encourage staff interaction.
His students have found him to be a dedicated, sensitive and caring
lecturer, with a number of them turning to him for professional and
personal advice.
Besides being active academically here, in the short 18 months with
us, he was very active professionally.
|
As editor-in-chief of fineart forum / Leonardo Electronic Almanac,
he curated an international screening program and presented at various
conferences with our support. During this time, he spoke on new technology
trends at the Digital Media Festival 2001 (Manila), and Collaboration,
Networking, and Resource-Sharing 2002 (Myanmar). He was also sent
on a staff exchange program to the Queensland University of Technology
(Australia) to teach online journalism.
He has been a valuable asset to our school, and has worked well with
his peers. I have known him since his student days, and have watched
him grow professionally. I find Mr Keshvani be a personable, calm
and dedicated individual well-liked by his peers. I wish him every
success in his future endeavours and have no reservations in recommending
him to prospective employers. Please feel free to contact me should
you have further queries. |
We are proud to have had him on our teaching team as he is an innovative
young individual, and is the first Mass Communication graduate to
return to lecture at his alma mater.

Yours sincerely
