Kennesaw State University is seeking donations to help a communications professor whose Chattanooga, Tn. home was destroyed in a fire last week.

The fire began in the basement of the home owned by Charles Mayo, director of KSU’s graduate program in Integrated Global Communication. While working at KSU, Mayo commuted from Tennessee each day. His dog was also killed in the fire, according to KSU officials and news reports.

A donation booth will be set up for Mayo at KSU’s men’s 3 p.m. basketball game on Saturday against East Tennessee State.
