The story of Nishtar's birth is one of passion and enthusiasm, commitment and foresight. A Nishtarian, somehow is never able to cut the cord with his or her alma mater, always remaining connected with pride and involvement that is unique among the other alumni.
The drama and zeal that led to Nishtar's creation have permeated into the collective psyche of all Nishtarians, thus when fellow Nishtarians meet, the years peel away and it feels that you have been miraculously transported to the same hallways, the same quad, the same rose garden that you might have left many years ago.
This page will collect the resources related to the fascinating history of Nishtar and will host documents, films and picture that chronicle the early days.
