Warren County Community College recently hosted Barbara Ehrenreich, author of “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By In America” as part of its annual Common Experience on campus. Leading up to Ehrenreich’s appearance, “Nickel and Dimed” was used in courses across the curriculum.

Following a student Q&A session several students talked about the book with Ehrenreich; from left to right, Ashley Remig of Phillipsburg, Nora Mahmoud of Clinton, Robert Fisher of Phillipsburg, Clinton Ankomah of Stewartsville, Ehrenreich, Zachary Blackwood of Washington, and WCCC Professor BJ Ward, Coordinator of the Common Experience. Later in the day during a public session, Ehrenreich read selections from “Nickel and Dimed.”
