Elizabeth Christian is the end all and be all of PR in Austin. She knows everyone and everything. Spend a semester with her and her staff, and you will get real world experience, a solid skill set, and you will have a blast doing it.
Word to the wise: I found this internship to be much more beneficial the more I put into it. If you show true interest and dedication, you will get an even better experience. The skills you learn there, you can take with you in the PR field and beyond. Though I interned at ECPR years ago, this internship single-handedly catapulted me to an awesome PR position in NY. To this day, I still utilize the skills I learned at ECPR in a totally different career.
Love this firm and the people. They are fantastic!
