Therefore social scientists need to convey their thoughts to proclaim the truth. Social scientists should have a distinctive character that makes it no less competitive with science and technology scientists. Social scientists have an important role in building Indonesia. This paper presents the exposure of the character of social humanities scientists to be able to contribute to humanitarian and national development. At least, there is one main character for a humanities social scientist plus three other characters. The main character for a social scientist is intelligent and morally puritanical. The second character for a social scientist is being wasathiyyah. The third character that social scientists need to have is being able to work with anyone. The fourth character is social scientists could build a center of excellence.Ilmu sosial seringkali dianggap kasta kedua dalam sistem saat ini, padahal ilmu sosial memberikan wajah humanis bagi kemanusiaan dan kebangsaan.
