"Proton Spin Physics with STAR; Status and Prospects</font></b>"
Two main goals of the spin physics program with STAR at RHIC are to measure the polarization of gluons in the polarized proton and to delineate spin contributions from the light quarks and anti-quarks by flavor. The measurements are being made with collisions of longitudinally polarized protons at 200 and 500 GeV center-of-mass energy. In addition, intriguingly large spin effects have been observed in collisions with transversely polarized beams at forward pseudo=rapidities. I will discuss the status and outlook.
