Palangka Raya University (UPR) confirmed its two Professors, namely Prof. Dr. Irawan, SE., M.Si, as Professor of Natural Resources and Environmental Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Business, and Prof. Dr. Ir. Petrus Senas, MP, as Professor of Fisheries Product Technology, Faculty of Agriculture.

The Chancellor of UPR carried out the inauguration, Prof. Dr. Ir. Salampak, MS, in the Rahan Hall, University of Palangka Raya, Thursday (6/7/2023) morning.

In his remarks, Prof. Dr. Ir. Salampak, MS, congratulated Prof. Dr. Irawan, SE., MSi, and Prof. Dr. Ir. Petrus Senas, MP, who today officially becomes a professor at UPR. "Hopefully, the knowledge from these two professors can be useful and contribute to the University of Palangka Raya and the Indonesian people. After getting the highest position in this academic field, the spirit of writing, teaching, serving, and research must be increased to benefit many people," said Salampak. He said that the inauguration of two new professors today means that UPR has additional human resources whose scientific capacity has been highly tested. It will make UPR's existence more recognized by the public and the world. Professorships show recognition of competence in the academic field.

The inauguration of this Professor shows that we have more and more experts. In addition, it will impact the UPR assessment, which is getting better and will further improve the quality of the UPR. Dean of FEB UPR, Prof. Dr. Danes Jaya Negara, added that Prof. Dr. Irawan is the fifth active Professor of FEB UPR. Currently, the central government is assessing three proposals for new professors. I hope that in 2023 there will be more professors at FEB UPR. The existence of this Professor is essential because currently, FEB UPR has three Master's Programs, namely Magister in Management,  Magister in Economics, Magister in Accounting, and a Doctoral Program in Management.
