do all professors go to graduation?

There’s a university-wide convocation where I think all the undergrad names are read out (not 100% about this as I haven’t graduated) and also individual major (L&S) or college (non-L&S) ceremonies where all the PhD, Masters and undergrad names are read out and PhDs are hooded.

I worked at the COE commencement in May and it took forever because in addition to the name-reading of undergrads you had to sit through each PhD’s hooding, which was usually done by their advisor(s). Extrapolating from that, I guess most professors tend to at least go to major/college graduation? You could always ask them if they’re going, I mean it’s a nice thing to want them to see you graduate?
