Being a student of Development Economics at UNPAR is not only about attending lectures, but also about seizing the opportunity to develop yourself through organizational activities. One of the platforms for this is the Student Association of the Development Economics Study Program (HMPSEP).
This association was established in 1985, alongside the founding of the Development Economics Study Program itself. Over time, HMPSEP underwent several name changes following regulations from the Ministry of Higher Education. It was once known as HMPSIESP until 2010, later became HMJIESP during 2010–2011, and finally returned to the name HMPSEP in 2011, which remains to this day.
In the 2025 period, HMPSEP presents the Lumi Nova Cabinet, a leadership body that carries the spirit of a “new light” to bring positive energy and a brighter direction for UNPAR Development Economics students.
