The last week of October has been designated as Red Ribbon Week. Enrique Camarena, a drug enforcement agent, was killed by drug traffickers in Mexico in 1985. Angered parents across the country began wearing Red Ribbons to symbolize their commitment to being healthy and drug-free. Today, red ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated, helping to preserve his Special Agent Camarena's memory and furthur the cause for which he gave his life.

Bucknell commemorated this event all week through various activities.
