July turned posts into conversations. Every engagement measure moved up over June, and the ones that measure depth moved most.
Total Members counts unique people across the Vanilla roster, Career Center registrants and My Inner Genius, deduplicated by email. June was recomputed on the same basis so the gain is like for like.
Thirty three members joined a collaborative practice sprint built and run in house. Collaborative programming is the most effective engagement format the team has run this year.

Ordered by comment volume. This is reference data, not a ranking: each community's own story lives on its own page, measured against its own history.

Parents and Guardians is reported as its own community from July 2026; it was previously counted inside Career Community, which is why Career Community shows 39 threads here rather than the 44 that included it. Community totals are unchanged. Per-community contributor counts sum to more than 370 because a member active in two communities is counted in each. The community total is a deduplicated count of unique people.
Community total $467,968 in July, 63% above its own June ($287,107) and its second largest month of 2026 behind January. Year to date $2,748,488, already 126% of all of 2025 ($2,176,061).

Role-native from the Vanilla export, alumni taking precedence where a member holds both a student and an alumni role. A member with roles in two communities appears in both rows, so this table does not sum to Total Members.

Insurance and Securities grew by thousands in a single month. That looks like role provisioning catching up rather than that many people joining, so neither is presented as a growth story until it is confirmed.
2,408 searches in July. The top terms track the Securities and Nursing expansions, and three of them are support intent rather than study intent.
extension, login and error are people looking for help, not study material. Worth a knowledge base answer for each.
Engagement, reactions, accepted answers, page views and searches: Vanilla, July 1 to 31, 2026, calendar month. Contributors: a deduplicated count of unique posting members, confirmed against the Vanilla dashboard. Members: Vanilla roster plus Career Center registrants plus My Inner Genius, deduplicated by email, with June recomputed on the same basis. Attribution: the Lead Attribution workbook through July 2026; per-community monthly figures are that month's cumulative less the prior month's. Adoption and re-purchase: not delivered for July, so omitted.
