Malik receives award for outstanding teaching, offers advice to graduating seniors
Sharad Malik — the director of the Keller Center and a recipient this year of Princeton’s highest teaching award — has some advice for newly minted graduates: embrace a life of learning.
“I’ve been very impressed by the willingness of our students to learn even if this means stepping out of their comfort zones,” said Malik. “What I hope we have been able to do in their four short years here is train our students in the process of learning because this is something that is going to be with them forever for the rest of their lives.”
Malik urged ’09 graduates to be emboldened, as the world around them evolves and changes, to continue to learn and explore new areas. You can hear from Malik firsthand — and witness the commencement fanfare — in this video.
