Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates will have an academic building named after him at William & Mary
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates will have an academic building named after him at William & Mary, the university in Virginia where he holds the honorary position of chancellor, the school announced Wednesday. Robert M. Gates Hall will be a hub for disciplines that include economic development and inequality, geopolitical conflict, national security and conservation, the school said in a statement.
Gates also wrote the book, “Exercise Of Power: American Failures, Successes, and a New Path Forward in the Post-Cold War World.” A $30 million gift from an anonymous donor is making the hall possible. The currently vacant Brown Hall will be renovated on the Williamsburg campus. Katherine Rowe, the president of William & Mary, praised the donor and said Gates “has championed the power of education and scholarship to advance democracy and build a better world.
