Hugo Olivos was one of our Mediazone Lab Assistants who finished his Masters in Communications here at the University of Nicosia. 2010 – 2012. Hugo is a Unic Alumnus with music on his mind! Although he originates from Mexico his heart is here in Cyprus. His wife, band and the children that he teaches music to part time are all integral parts of his life. No matter where he is he breathes and lives drumming and metal music. Apart from his drummer “secret identity”, Hugo is just the nicest guy. He displayed “customer service” skills, and an easy going personality, was adept at everything and had that winning smile!

Harlem Shake @ UNic! Student Initiative!

On March 20th 2013, students of the University Of Nicosia

took part in a fun production of a UNic Harlem Shake video at the open amphitheater. It wasn’t something you get to see every day and we definitely stole the interest of other students. Some watched and others participated, it’s positive that we broke the way of the daily routine. Special thanks to MediaZone, Stefan Colton (opening performer) and everyone who was a part of this Harlem Shake! Hopefully students in the future will also be encouraged to take similar initiative. Encourage Creativity !

At the heart of a table tennis player & coach

They are hand picked, highly trained and on many occasions multi talented; and when they graduate we are sorry to see them go. On the other hand we couldn’t be prouder!

Mediazone Student website statistics for the Spring semester – Making its way around the world!

Spring Semester Stats – Fresh from Google!

It is hard to believe that next month our student website will be 2 years old. In that time it has grown from being a basic information site to an incredible tool for all students taking practical courses in the Department of Communications. Not only have we improved, tweaked and tinkered under the hood, but we have added “can’t live without” tools such as all of our operation manuals in pdf – including the hard to find ones. Students are using our handbooks, useful links, booking their cameras and facilities, all from the comfort of their own homes. It truly is a “one stop shopping site”,  a “megamart” of sorts. Or maybe a really cool “Swiss army tool-kit”,  where you can quickly find the right tool, & pretty well everything you need to survive throughout the semester.  Continue reading
