You might check who the commencement speaker is - that might sway you or other family members.

I made DS go to the Commencement ceremony for A&S - it’s where they walked and got their diplomas. He probably wouldn’t have gone, but I told him he “owed” us, lol.

It was long and hot - his dept (Engineering) was fairly early in the walking up for diplomas. We left soon after. He had to stay for the whole thing. He never complained :).

In retrospect, I don’t think it’s all that important to go to any of it. But it’s all a matter of personal preference. Too bad the personal preferences of each family member don’t always align…
