This semester, we had the opportunity to work alongside two incredible interns, Salma Medina Pow and Sophie Webster. Their creativity, professionalism and energy made a lasting impact on our team, and we’re excited to see what’s ahead for both of them.

Salma is heading into her senior year at UT Austin, where she will serve as President of Texas PRSSA and continue supporting students through Texas Student Media, while growing her experience in public relations and communications.

Sophie is spending the summer traveling before returning to UT Austin this fall as Co-Chair of Camp Texas and joining the Texas Media and Analytics program during her senior year.

We’re grateful for the time, talent and perspective they brought to ECPR Texas, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish next.
