In 2008, Malek was nominated to the Board of Visitors of the United States Military Academy at West Point by the President of the United States at the time, George W. Bush. As of 2011, he holds the position of Chairman of this board. He has been a philanthropic support of West Point, underwriting the Malek Tennis Center. “Harvard was extraordinarily helpful in teaching me to analyze problems on a purely academic front," Malek has said. "It did more than that, actually. But in terms of overall effect, it was not even close to the U.S. Military Academy in making me who I am. West Point builds the entire structure of the man, the values of the man. It develops you in the whole.”

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Again and again, faith in a possible satisfaction of the human race breaks through at the very moments of most zealous discord because humankind will never be able to live and work without this consoling delusion of its ascent into morality, without this dream of final and ultimate accord.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,
And I must be, as he had been,—alone,
‘As all must be,’ I said within my heart,
‘Whether they work together or apart.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
