Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates will have an academic building named after him at William & Mary, his alma mater where he holds the honorary position of chancellor.
Gates is the only defense secretary to be asked to stay in the post after a new president was elected, according to the Pentagon. He served under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Gates was director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s. Gates also wrote the book, "Exercise Of Power: American Failures, Successes, and a New Path Forward in the Post-Cold War World."
