We are required to attend every other year. A-L one year the rest of the alphabet the next year. Those who do not have their own academic regalia are supplied with it by the college. All of this was bargained by our faculty assoication. I would submit that everyone should be required to attend every year. I believe in the importance of ceremonies to mark important events. For those graduating, this is a most important event. It isn't too much to ask that the faculty who I would hope were part of the students learning experience to participate. Of course, I come from a tradition where you didn't call your major professor by his/her first name until after you got your own PhD and even then the prof had to give you permission. I am old enough to be the grandfather of many of my students some of whom feel free to call me Harry.
