 This act of
kindness will go down in the hearts and minds of our students as
a reminder of not only their commitment to compassionate caring,
but of RAC's very kind and beneficent spirit.

| Clinton Community College nursing
students, school administration and staff, with
Rent-A-Center co-workers. |
Rent-A-Center (NASDAQ: RCII) coworkers from around
New York and the company's home office ensured each of the 120
local nursing students – the entire student population with a
declared nursing major – at Clinton Community College in
Plattsburgh received a $100 textbook credit for the upcoming
fall semester.
The company will also be providing $500 for a "pizza party" for
the students during an exam study night later in the semester.
"I am most honored to learn that our Clinton Community College
nursing students have been chosen to be the recipients of RAC's
Random Act of Caring award," said Dr. Kathleen Kasprzak,
director of Allied Health and Nursing at the school. "Perhaps it
is beyond serendipitous that our program was chosen … for we see
'caring' as the heart of Clinton Nursing. This act of kindness
will go down in the hearts and minds of our students as a
reminder of not only their commitment to compassionate caring,
but of RAC's very kind and beneficent spirit, as well. May
kindness beget kindness."
This is Rent-A-Center's seventh "Random Act of Caring," having
launched the statewide initiative five months ago.
In New York, Rent-A-Center operates 178 stores including two in
Plattsburgh.
