The STAR detector will bring unique capabilities to the study of $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions up to total center of mass energies of 500 GeV at RHIC. The large acceptance of the time projection chamber and the electromagnetic calorimeter enable STAR to observe jets, and to detect photons and electrons in important regions of phase space. The premier experiments of the STAR spin program are discussed in this contribution. Photon + jet coincidence measurements will provide the world's best determination of the contribution gluons make to the proton's spin. Detection of the daughter electrons and positrons from $W^\pm$ decay will enable the determination of the polarization of the $q\bar{q}$ sea within the proton.
