Neal Grossman

Professor Grossman teaches Philosophy of Death and Dying, Philosophy of Religion, Mysticism and Eastern Philosophy, Plato, and Spinoza. He has been at the university for 34 years. His advice to incoming students is: "Don't cut any classes until mid-terms; by then you'll know which lectures you can afford to miss; get to know personally at least one professor per semester (you'll need letters of recommendation later); don't be afraid to ask questions in class (there's no such thing as a stupid question); take courses in subjects you love; and use the many resources that UIC makes available for students." Professor Grossman is interested in classical music and opera, fast walking along the lake, baking gourmet chocolate chip cookies, massage and deep tissue body work, "new age" spirituality and meditation, and the Three Stooges.
