Pancasila Education is a compulsory course expected to shape students' character amid rapid digitalization. This study aims to describe the role of Pancasila Education in shaping the character of students at the Faculty of Sport Science and Health, Universitas Negeri Medan. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, questionnaires, and brief interviews. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that most students understand Pancasila values conceptually, although this understanding is not yet fully reflected in practice. Tolerance, discipline, and academic honesty began to develop after the course, while lecture-centered instruction remained a constraint. The study concludes that Pancasila Education plays an important role in character formation, and its effectiveness can be enhanced through contextual project-based learning.
