It looks like we at Ashvegas have to take back everything we’ve been saying about Mike Cuevas – or should we say Professor Cuevas.

Moonlighting Mike is an adjunct professor with UNC Ashvegas’ Department of Atmospheric Sciences, a well-regarded weather-guessers school. Seriously – they do some good work over there. Here’s the link.

Here’s the rundown:

Fall 2005, the Department of Atmospheric Sciences has 3 full-time faculty members, one half-time professor, one adjunct professor, and one secretary. They are:
Professors:
Dr. Alex Huang, Chair, RBH 236B, 232-5157,[email protected]
Dr. Ed Brotak, RBH 234, 232-5160, [email protected]
Associate Professor:
Dr. Doug Miller, RBH 236A, 232-5158, [email protected]

Associate Professor:
Dr. Chris Hennon, RBH 236C, 232-5159

Adjunct Professor: Mr. Mike Cuevas, WLOS Chief Meteorologist, [email protected], 651-4633.

Lecturer: Mr. Frank Quinlan, retired in Spring 2005.

Professor Emeritus:
Dr. Jim Heimbach, Jr., retired in Spring 2000, [email protected]

Secretary:
Mrs. Debra Robbins, RBH 224,251-6149, [email protected]

So that must be a pretty good gig. You do your weather-guessing game on TV, then hang with the students and profs over at UNCA, working on mountainado modeling and such. Still, we must wonder if it isn’t time for the professor to go back to class.
