Kent State Student Defies Odds of High-Risk Brain Surgery

But the night before Easter, Ojeda amazingly walked out of the hospital.

Ojeda and his father talked with KDKA-TV and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about what motivated Ojeda’s comeback and when the environmental and conservation biology major hopes to return to classes.
