THIBODEAUX -
G.I. Jobs magazine has named Nicholls State University a Military Friendly School for 2010.
Only 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide have been given the designation.
Nicholls' efforts to recruit and retain active military and veteran students brought the school the recognition.
To make it easier for veterans to attend Nicholls, admissions criteria are exempted for veterans who have received a discharge for any reason other than dishonorable, and enrollees may register before the general student population.
Nicholls administrators have also identified a group of individual advisers to serve as veterans advocates. Veterans may consult with these faculty members for information, advice or understanding as they work their way through university rules and regulations.
