He earned a four-year Merit Scholarship to the Columbus College of Art and Design, where he rose to the top of his classes. He found new inspiration in his new teachers and mentors: Ron Tardino, Robert Bruss, and Dennis Drummond. Jeffrey says, "Dennis was so important. I do not know if he has any idea what he meant to me." In 1977, Terreson had the opportunity to attend a workshop/internship with several top artists in America including Robert Heindel and Mark English. Heindel’s paintings became the source of tremendous optimism in Terreson’s career.
