Student Health Advocacy Group - Student Organizations

SHAG is geared toward educating students about all aspects of health and well-being, from STDs and breast cancer to anxiety and eating disorders. SHAG believes that every student must be familiar with his or her health and body.

The largest service provided by SHAG is the Condom Hotline. Through this hotline, students can anonymously request:

Male condoms (latex, non-latex, vegan)
Female condoms
Dental dams
Lubricants

Requests can now also be made online.

While this service is widely used by campus, it is far from the only thing SHAG brings to Knox.
