SuCo was created due to the need for representation of sustainability within the Student Government Association (SGA) to help reflect student interest and momentum around 这个话题. Because other student issues have led to the creation of committees and positions on SGA, a similar approach was proposed for sustainability by Talia Arnow '13 beginning in fall 2011, which led to the creation of the initial committee in 2012年春季. At the same time that the committee was formed, a sustainability senator 位置也被创建了. The sustainability senator is charged with chairing the SGA 可持续性 Committee (SuCo). Other committees on SGA include the Committee on 学生生活, Budget and Finance for student clubs and events, Academic Council 以及多元化事务委员会.
SuCo was proposed in fall 2011 and officially created in the spring semester of 2012. The committee functioned well, but during the fall 2012 semester committee members felt it was necessary to alter the membership of the committee to reflect a more holistic scope that covered all of the three pillars of sustainability. 因此，成员 and structure of the committee was altered and reorganized in order to reflect the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability.
During the fall 2012 semester, SuCo wrote a status report, a compilation of all student-led sustainability initiatives dating back to 2003. 状态报告是用 seven topic areas: food, waste, transportation, green buildings, land management, 能源与学术. The report is a continuous work in progress and will be updated yearly as more initiatives are initiated and completed.
In the spring of 2013, SuCo fully adopted the new structure, with new membership and 新的使命和愿景. SuCo helped put on multiple events linked to sustainability and partnered with many student groups to increase awareness and education of sustainability 在校园. The two biggest achievements of SuCo were supporting the writing of two resolutions to be presented to SGA Senate. One of the resolutions is a sustainable 食品采购建议. This resolution was created through a collaboration between SuCo and the Real 食物 Challenge student group. 另一个决议是相关的 to a divestment campaign for the college, a collaboration with the Environmental Action Club, who began the divestment campaign during the 2012–13 academic year.
In recent years, SuCo has pursued a variety of creative projects. 2015年，玛雅·科恩 '17 worked to develop a sustainability survey for incoming first years. 通过2017 - 18, Zoe Pagliaro '20 designed a food waste outreach program in the Murray-Aiking Dining Hall to curb excess waste and spark behavior change.
