Performances of the Faculty of Economics State University of Yogyakarta's student association were explored by planning, implementing, and evaluating their working programs. Thus, professionalism and mandate in the board's responsibility should be improved so that the targets set in each work program can be achieved as expected because student association was beneficial to enhance their leadership, negotiation, social, and emotional competencies. Both policymakers and student counselors should facilitate and evolve the standardization of successful projects or performances.
