The production of $W$ bosons in polarized $p+p$ collisions at RHIC provides an excellent tool to probe the protons sea quark distributions. At leading order $W^{-(+)}$ bosons are produced in $bar{u}+d,(bar{d}+u)$ collisions, and parity-violating single-spin asymmetries measured in longitudinally polarized $p+p$ collisions give access to the flavor-separated light quark and antiquark helicity distributions. In this proceedings we report preliminary results for the single-spin asymmetry, $A_L$ from data collected in 2012 by the STAR experiment at RHIC with an integrated luminosity of 72 pb$^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s}=510$ GeV and an average beam polarization of 56%.

We present the recent results of strangeness production at the mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at RHIC, from $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 7.7 to 200 GeV. The $v_2$ of multi-strange baryon $Omega$ and $phi$ mesons are similar to that of pions and protons in
the intermediate $p_T$ range (2 - 5 GeV/$c$) in $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}$ = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions, indicating that the major part of collective flow has been built up at partonic stage. The breaking of mass ordering between $phi$ mesons and protons in the low $p_T$ range ($<$ 1 GeV/$c$) is consistent with a picture that $phi$ mesons are less sensitive to later hadronic interaction. The nuclear modification factor $R_{rm CP}$ and baryon to meson ratio change dramatically when the collision energy is lower than 19.6 GeV. It suggests a possible change of medium property of the system compared to those from high energies.
STAR collected data in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV with transverse and longitudinal beam polarizations during the initial running periods in 2002--2004 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Results
on the single transverse spin asymmetries in the production of high energy forward neutral pions and of forward charged hadrons will be presented. Data have been obtained for double longitudinal asymmetries in inclusive jet production in 2003 and 2004. These data provide sensitivity to the polarization of gluons in the proton. In the future, we aim to determine the gluon polarization over a wide kinematic range using coincidences of direct photons and jets. Furthermore, we aim to determine the polarizations of the u, bar(u), d and bar(d) quarks in the proton by measuring single longitudinal spin asymmetries in the production of weak bosons at sqrt(s) = 500$ GeV.
The production of $W^{pm}$ bosons in longitudinally polarized $vec{p}+vec{p}$ collisions at RHIC provides a new means of studying the spin-flavor asymmetries of the proton sea quark distributions. Details of the $W^{pm}$ event selection in the $e^{pm
}$ decay channel at mid-rapidity are presented, along with preliminary results for the production cross section and parity-violating single-spin asymmetry, $A_L$, from the STAR Collaborations 2009 data at $sqrt{s}=500$ GeV.
This document summarizes recent achievements of the RHIC spin program and their impact on our understanding of the nucleons spin structure, i.e. the individual parton (quark and gluon) contributions to the helicity structure of the nucleon and to und
erstand the origin of the transverse spin phenomena. Open questions are identified and a suite of future measurements with polarized beams at RHIC to address them is laid out. Machine and detector requirements and upgrades are briefly discussed.
Time and again, spin has been a key element in the exploration of fundamental physics. Spin-dependent observables have often revealed deficits in the assumed theoretical framework and have led to novel developments and concepts. Spin is exploited in
many parity-violating experiments searching for physics beyond the Standard Model or studying the nature of nucleon-nucleon forces. The RHIC spin program plays a special role in this grand scheme: it uses spin to study how a complex many-body system such as the proton arises from the dynamics of QCD. Many exciting results from RHIC spin have emerged to date, most of them from RHIC running after the 2007 Long Range Plan. In this document we present highlights from the RHIC program to date and lay out the roadmap for the significant advances that are possible with future RHIC running.
