I wasn't all that thrilled about it, especially since the original announcement said that doors were open at 2:00pm (for a 4:00pm event), and that was going to cut into class time.
It turns out the timeline was pushed back two hours, with doors scheduled to open at 4:00pm (for a 6:00pm event). That wasn't too bad. My 12:45pm American politics class saw pretty much regular attendance. My 2:20pm international relations class was less than half attended, but no matter. I had a brief presentation planned anyway, and I distributed a handout last week, in any case.
Students elsewhere around campus were complaining, though. It was a big event that caused some distractions for students not interested in the campaign. They just wanted to study.
I don't see a report on the rally anywhere. Everyone's talking about the AP story announcing the Clinton's got the delegates to clinch the nomination.
I'll update with more later.
Meanwhile, some video and tweets:

"I have a special place in my heart for Long Beach...I want to be a good partner"--words perhaps never spoken before by a newly-minted nom

"I'm a progressive who wants to get things done"--does that mark the end of "stronger together" or just a visit to the slogan vault?

@cathleendecker No. She said "stronger together" too.
