- Deck the Haven 2025
We’ve been preparing dutifully, and it’s almost here! Come celebrate a time of joy and merriment with us and find some time to take a short break from your studies just before finals week kicks off! Biola’s biggest FULLY-STUDENT-ORGANIZED event is back for its 20-year-anniversary edition! Be there to laugh, cheer, goof off, cry (if you have to go in Mason’s room), and most importantly celebrate the Christmas season with us! Be there or be a very un-festive square!
Thanks to @ryanhimes.art for the epic poster design!

FROM @haven_1134 ‘S FAMILY TO YOURS…
DECK THE HAVEN!!!

2PM - 10PM
@biolahopehall 2ND FLOOR SOUTH
DECK THE HAVEN WAS A SUCCESS!!!
Eventually we’ll have a lot more pictures to share of all the rooms, but we want to thank you ALL for showing up and enjoying Deck the Haven 2025 with us. This was one of the most successful and magical years we’ve ever had in our 20-year history, and we’re so glad we got to share it with you. We hope you are leaving DTH with just as many fond memories as we have. It’s been our privilege to share a little bit of our floor culture with you. There’ll be more pictures and memories to come, but for now, we’ll just be chillin’ in the ball pit, planning for next year.
So from our family to yours…
Thank you :)

- THROWBACK TO 2024
Just ONE more day till Deck the Haven! Last year’s event is still talked about often amongst the school and looked on fondly, and it’s no different here on Haven! Last year’s wonderful selection of rooms included a noir room, a Star Wars adventure room, a Secret Santa Society room, and even a podcast room! A lot of the people from last year will be back again, so swing by to see what they cook up this time!
CATCH THESE FELLAS TOMORROW AT DECK THE HAVEN, FROM 2-10PM! YOU DON’T WANNA MISS IT!
- THROWBACK TO 2007
Let’s go waaaaay back for this one to the early days of Deck the Haven from 18 years ago! Still in its original home of Hart Hall, this event is spoken about in legends. This is the oldest Deck-the-Haven-related photo or video that we know still exists, and it’s the only video we have from its year. It’s a little blurry to say the least, but it’s still cool to see a DTH of a bygone age and know that we are part of a very long-standing tradition.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS YEAR’S VERSION OF BIOLA’S BIGGEST STUDENT-RUN EVENT, COME TO HOPE HALL ON DECEMBER 6TH FROM 2PM-10PM!!!
- THROWBACK TO 2018
This year’s Deck the Haven was the latter of a short 2-year period called the “Tent Years,” in which DTH moved to the tent on Lot F for a bit. It made for a challenge for the Havenites to adapt to, but the new setting allowed us to bring a refreshing spin on an old classic! After this would come the great 3-year drought, during which no Deck the Haven occurred from 2019-2021. DTH returned for 2022 (albeit in Hope for the first time ever) and is now on its fourth concurrent year, just in time for the 20-year anniversary of the first DTH back in 2005!
TO SEE THIS YEAR’S ITERATION OF BIOLA’S BIGGEST STUDENT-RUN EVENT, COME TO DECK THE HAVEN ON DECEMBER 6TH FROM 2PM-10PM!!!
- DECK THE HAVEN TABLE!!!

- THROWBACK TO 2012
Yes, ladies and gents, that is the one and only @zachking tearing down his dunk tank room from DTH 2012! Zach was a Havenite who made some spectacular rooms in his time here! If you want to see 15 ADDITIONAL spectacular rooms this year, come to DTH 2025, this Saturday, December 6th, from 2pm-10pm! See you there!
