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:
“In the beginning, I wanted to enter what was essentially a man’s field. I wanted to prove I could do it. Then I found that when I did as well as the men in the field I got more credit for my work because I am a woman, which seems unfair.”
—Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)
“The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
