PCLS Spring Keynote Speaker

We’re proud to welcome the Minimalists to campus for the Presidential Career and Leadership Series spring keynote speech on April 14, 2026.

Welcome the Minimalists

The Minimalists will deliver the PCLS spring keynote speech on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 7 p.m. in the Armstrong Student Center’s Harry T. Wilks Theater.

Emmy-nominated Netflix stars and New York Times–bestselling authors Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus will share how lessons from minimalism can help people live and work meaningfully. This event features open seating, with the theater doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

The Minimalists have published multiple books advocating for making room for more. “Clearing the clutter,” they believe, “frees up the space.” The Minimalists Podcast currently has 500+ episodes on everything from “Job Your Love” to “Social Media Clutter.” Their documentary, Minimalism opened as the top indie documentary of 2016 and is currently available on YouTube. Another documentary, Less Is Now, can be viewed on Netflix.
