The English Department Student Association (HIMARIS) was established in 2006 by the first cohort of the English Department students. HIMARIS serves as the department’s student organisation, providing a platform to channel aspirations and organise activities that enhance both academic and non-academic skills for all English Department students. The activities conducted by HIMARIS are beneficial for students in various ways, including improving communication skills, gaining organisational experience, enhancing soft skills, and fostering other positive attributes.

HIMARIS also engages in community service projects. One notable initiative involves teaching English to elementary school children in the local area. Additionally, they regularly organise community events, such as breaking the fast together (buka bersama) with orphans at nearby orphanages during the month of Ramadan.

To strengthen connections with other student organisations on campus, HIMARIS actively participates in events organised by other Polban organisations. These include activities such as Sports and Arts Week (Pekan Olah Raga dan Seni, PORSENI) and LITANIA (Business Administration Futsal League), as well as other engaging events. For English Department students at Polban, joining HIMARIS is a valuable opportunity to develop their potential beyond academic abilities honed during lectures.
