About Wendell Bedichek
Dr. Wendell Bedichek’s arrival as a full-time faculty member in the early years of HCC was an important event for the College. Wendell taught all over the system in every kind of building and situation that can be imagined.
After Wendell’s death, faculty and staff wanted to honor his memory in some permanent way.
Remembering Wendell’s hope to help faculty grow, they chose faculty development as their goal. This was the impetus for the Bedichek Faculty Development Fund. The Bedichek Fund (now the Bedichek-Orman Fund) is the embodiment of his belief in helping faculty grow.
About Helen Orman
Department Chair of Literature, Languages, Education, and Philosophy of the Southwest College. Also a visual artist, her work was displayed in numerous exhibitions in Houston and throughout Texas.
She was especially known for her artworks depicting images in Dante’s Inferno and a series of portraits of women reflecting their inner goddess power, and finally a series of collages created from found objects often related to places she had traveled. For her numerous contributions to the college and community, the HCC Faculty Senate voted to change the name of the Bedichek to the Bedichek-Orman Faculty Development Fund.
