The character and morals of students need to be developed to the maximum so that students are not only superior in academics, but also in non-academic fields to support their identity in the midst of globalization. Therefore, how to cultivate noble character for Indonesian students is the most important thing that must be done immediately. Through this research, it is hoped that ideas or strategies will be obtained to foster noble character among Indonesian students. The research was conducted using a literature review, namely collecting and analyzing sources and facts from literature such as books, journals, papers, and theses. Data collection was carried out with reading techniques both semantic and symbolic reading. The results of the study found that character education in the higher education environment must still be carried out to strengthen and nurture noble character among students. Lecturers have a role in developing student character and morale. Through exemplary teachings by lecturers in an academic environment, students will carry out an imitation process and tend to make lecturers role models in acting.
